C-TPAT at KCST

What is C-TPAT?
C-TPAT is a joint government-business initiative to build cooperative relationships that strengthen overall supply chains and border security.

C-TPAT recognizes that Customs can provide the highest level of security only through close cooperation with the ultimate owners of the supply chain importers, carriers, brokers, warehouse operators and manufacturers.

Through this initiative Customs is asking businesses ensure the integrity of their security practices and communicate their security guidelines to their business partners within the supply chain.

Only through awareness and training can KCST accomplish a safe and secure facility! Your help is needed.
If you see any of the following, please report it to your supervisor, your department manager, Plant Administration or Security immediately.

Suspicious persons or activities
Unknown material or substances
Possible theft
Broken or damaged fencing, doors, locks, lights, etc.
