CBP is requesting comments on new data elements meant to help with vetting members of the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism, it said in a notice. "Additional information is being collected based on CTPAT’s new vetting process as the prior vetting process was found to be insufficient in being able to identify violators," the agency said. "Not collecting this information would result in companies that are high risk for committing illegal activity to be allowed into, and continue to be part of, the CTPAT program." CBP’s National Targeting Center found the previous "vetting process to be ineffective in capturing high risk companies," resulting in such companies being "allowed to be CTPAT members and enjoy the many trade facilitation benefits of membership," it said.

CBP is making several adjustments to reduce the impact on trade flows from the ongoing protests on the northern border over Canadian vaccine requirements for truckers, Thomas Overacker, CBP executive director-cargo and conveyance security, said during a Feb. 9 conference call. As part of that, the agency is allowing for diversions and is telling its field offices that "a port mismatch is not grounds for stopping a truck," he said. CBP issued a CSMS message on the subject that said "CBP ports are encouraged to consider maximum flexibility to ensure that legitimate cargo is processed."
