Forced Labor Compliance Impacts & Benefits
Due to the recent toughening of forced labor policies, US importers, exporters, freight forwarders, customs brokers, and other entities involved in international trade have an expanded responsibility to monitor, identify, and report forced labor in their supply chains. CBP aims to increase government-private sector collaboration to combat forced labor while providing additional incentives to encourage private sector engagement in the program.
CTPAT-Certified Highway Carriers & Risk Assessments
Pro Tip: While restricting your highway carrier business partners to being CTPAT certified mitigates substantial risk, do not assume you can become complacent based on that premise. Even the best of security measures can be challenged in the highway carrier environment and CTPAT status can also be suspended or revoked due to administrative shortcomings. Be sure to monitor your business partners through the CTPAT Status Verification Interface (SVI).
