The Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) Trade Compliance program replaces US Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) historic Importer Self Assessment (ISA) Program as an enhanced component of the larger voluntary CTPAT Security program. The latter program requires importers to meet all regulatory requirements of CBP and other government entities, maintain evidence of no financial debt to the US government, and meet the annual requirements of the program, which are discussed in depth in the CTPAT Trade Compliance Handbook.
