The Customs and Trade Partnership
Against Terrorism (C-TPAT)is a Program that provides expedited
processing of repetitive entries of merchandise at high-risk
locations by prescreening shippers and carriers who chose to
participate in this Program. C-TPAT has superceded the Land Border
Carrier Initiative (LBCI)and expanded LBCI to include air and sea
shipments.
