New Security Initiatives for U.S. Imports

The Department of Homeland Security has been working on several initiatives to improve security at all of our major ports and border crossings. These initiatives will, over time, drastically change how shipments are imported and exported. Initiatives are being phased in between October and January. The first initiative began on Friday, October 1, 2004.

We here at Roadway are prepared. We are C-TPAT, PIP and FAST approved. We worked with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to help develop these initiatives and participated in pilot programs. Click here to find out more.
