Allcargo Logistics Ltd., India’s largest integrated, end-to- end logistics solutions provider, has announced that its container freight station (CFS) at JNPT, Mumbai has successfully maintained its Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) certification. While retaining this crucial certification, the Allcargo Logistics CFS has maintained its classification of Ä rating and improves the scores to high 90’s
The annual C-TPAT certification which has been issued on May 16, 2019 and will be valid up to May 15, 2020 covers the inbound/import and outbound/export cargo handling at the CFS at JN Port Area.
C-TPAT which was launched in 2001 is a voluntary, joint government-business initiative which develops associations with importers, warehouse operators, manufacturers, brokers and carriers globally. Supported by the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, C-TPAT aims to uphold global supply chain security and diminish border susceptibilities. Key benefits of C-TPAT certification are the speed of freight movement, reduction in cost, shorter wait-time at the borders, etc. C-TPAT certification is awarded by United Registrar of Systems, an independent certification body operating in more than 30 countries within the multinational URS Holdings.
“We are extremely proud of maintaining the C-TPAT certification for our CFS at JN port area. It underscores our commitment to our clients and partners to build a secure delivery system while complying with international security guidelines.
Because of C-TPAT compliance, we will be able to continue offering our customers facilities such as quicker and protected cargo handling, reduced processing time, less cargo inspections at various check-points, etc.,” says Mr. Prakash Tulsiani, ED and CEO, CFS-ICD at Allcargo Logistics Ltd.
