C-TPAT provides businesses an opportunity to play an active role in the war against terrorism, while improving processing times for imports and increasing overall security for their employees, suppliers and customers.

noted in the answer to question No. 1 above, it is a cost-effective solution to demonstrate compliance for both the importer and the importer's business partners. By having a compliance assessment conducted, a facility receives the ICSC compliance certificate, which is recognized by most U.S. companies and can be used as evidence of compliance with other customers, thereby reducing the need to have multiple audits by multiple customers.

Partnership in C-TPAT is voluntary. Participates include supply chain members such as importers, brokers, carriers, terminal operators, warehouse operators, and manufacturers.

C-TPAT requires that U.S. importers work with their supply chain partners to ensure that important security measures are in place and adhered to throughout their supply chain. By attending a seminar, supply chain partners will understand what security measures they must and/or should have in place if they are to continue to maintain a working relationship with U.S. importers. ICSC's C-TPAT seminars provide a detailed understanding of the requirements at a minimal expense.

C-TPAT participants must submit a supply chain security profile for review by Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The security profile must address C-TPAT security guidelines that include: Procedural Security, Physical Security, Education and Training, Access Controls, and Manifest Procedures.

C-TPAT stands for "Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism" and PIP stands for "Partners In Protection". C-TPAT is a program of the U.S. Customs Service, (USCS), and PIP is a program of the Canadian Canada Customs and Revenue Agency, (CCRA).

C++ is "a better C" in the sense that it supports the styles of programming done using C with better type checking and more notational support (without loss of efficiency). In the same sense, ANSI C is a better C than K&R C.
