A set of minimum security criteria related to wood packaging materials and pest prevention have been “one of the highest” areas of non-compliance for Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism members validated in 2022, CBP said in a CTPAT bulletin released Aug. 24. The agency highlighted section 8.1 of the CTPAT minimum security criteria, which requires written procedures to prevent pest contamination, including compliance with wood packaging materials regulations; measures that meet international standards for wood packaging material; and visible pest prevention measures adhered to throughout the supply chain.
The Commercial Customs Operations Advisory Committee (COAC) for CBP will next meet remotely Sept. 14, CBP said in a notice. Comments are due in writing by Sept. 9.
