BORDER TROUBLES * Canada/USA - CTA suggests fixes for smoother border
Ottawa,ONT,CAN -Today's Trucking -17 May 2010: -- The new chief at the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency is determined clean up inefficiencies at the border and says he’ll start with “low-hanging fruit”... While there are a host of issues and priorities that could be implemented to help enhance the balance between security and trade facilitation, says the Canadian Trucking Alliance, they would like to see a focus on measures that do not denigrate security; that would help make the border more efficient or less frustrating; that would not require gobs of money; or legislation... The CTA, along with the American Trucking Associations, compiled a short list of three points they figure would be helpful for the trucking industry:* Suspension of C-TPAT Benefits
* Empty Trailer Repositioning
* In-Transit Movements
“While on the surface these might seem like modest concessions, in combination they could have a meaningful impact on supply chain efficiency and provide additional value-added to companies that have invested in the myriad of border security programs that have been introduced over the past several years,” says David Bradley, CEO of the CTA...(Photo from lockport-ny: Lewiston Bridge Customs)
