    C-TPAT membership status will open the door to several benefits. For instance, C-TPAT members are less likely to incur a security or compliance examination compared to a non-member. For the C-TPAT members cargo that is selected for examination, the member is given front of the line privileges, allowing the container to move ahead of all non-member containers awaiting inspection. These and other C-TPAT benefits result in the ability to better predict the time and cost of shipping cargo, a decrease in supply chain disruptions, a decrease in wait times for carriers at the border, and the ultimate result of an increase in customers and revenues. An additional fringe benefit is the marketability that C-TPAT membership may bring to your business.
