Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism

Due to increasing concerns about terrorist organizations, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection (CBP) introduced U.S. border protection measures after the September 11 incident. Canadian PIP and the EU's AEO counter-terrorism requirements have also been issued. Governments around the world and customs agencies are beginning to implement new supply chain security standards. This helps protect trade flows, combat illegal transactions and protect the safety of businessmen and businesses. This has greatly affected Chinese companies doing business internationally: delays in the processing of documentary certifications, increased frequency of border checks, etc. have greatly affected the company's delivery deadlines and led to increased personnel costs.

In order to meet the security requirements of major international countries, companies conducting international business must provide proof that they have established a security system, and they must demonstrate the security performance of supply chain management through audits. The global supply chain security verification project developed by MADE-OWN uses advanced methods to promote best practices in the global trade industry. It helps importers and suppliers reduce the risks associated with cross-border shipments of goods. At the same time, it has accelerated the speed at which goods can reach target markets. It achieves best practices through efficient use of resources and innovative structured processes.
