Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) program participants should be aware of an increased use of Global Positioning System jamming devices, said CBP in an alert (here). "GPS jamming devices pose a serious risk to conveyance security, as the integrity of a shipment may be compromised without the knowledge of the importer or the transportation company," said CBP. While most often used for cargo theft," the ability of a jammer to conceal the location of a shipment demonstrates that these items may be used to carry out any number of illicit activities including the smuggling of illegal drugs, weapons, stowaways, or other contraband," said CBP. CBP also warned C-TPAT members of the risks to the supply chain related to cybersecurity (here). The agency advised C-TPAT members to develop a cybersecurity risk management plan and to consult a National Institute of Standards and Technology draft on supply chain risk management (here).
