COMMITMENT TO SECURITY
Our Commitment to CTPAT:
ONE is a member of the U.S. Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) program. This partnership allows us to collaborate with U.S. Customs and Border Protection to implement robust security measures. We participate in CTPAT initiatives, including maintaining a comprehensive Supply Chain Security Program and conducting regular internal audits and risk assessments.
Beyond CTPAT:
Our commitment to supply chain security extends beyond CTPAT. We participate in and adhere to the principles of other recognized Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) programs, such as Canada's Partners in Protection (PIP). This multi-layered approach provides a consistent and comprehensive security framework across all our operations.
Investing in the Future:
We understand that supply chain security is an ongoing journey and are committed to continuous improvement. We educate and train our employees on the importance of supply chain security and empower them to identify and report potential risks.
OVERVIEW
The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) is a voluntary program established by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to collaborate with the trade community in combating terrorism. By joining CTPAT, companies commit to implementing stringent security measures and best practices.

CTPAT - CONTAINER SEAL STANDARD
High-Security Seal Requirement
All ONE containers moving internationally as an Import or Export through the United States or Canada, including as Freight Remaining on Board (FROB), are required to be sealed with high-security seals. The high-security seals must meet or exceed the International Standard ISO/PAS 17712, which is globally recognized by CBP, CBSA, and the WCO. WCO.
- Seal Placement: After closing the container doors, seals should be placed in the Securacam position at the bottom of the left locking bar of the right container door. If a seal sticker is also used, it must be placed in the center of the doors. (See Illustration)
- Customs Penalties: In many countries Customs will issue penalties for the improper sealing of loaded containers. Any applicable penalty assessment will be the responsibility of the cargo owner (Shipper) in accordance with the Bill of Lading terms.
