Introduction:
In today’s globalized trade environment, securing the supply chain is paramount. The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) plays a crucial role in fostering collaboration between the public and private sectors to ensure the integrity and security of the international supply chain. As businesses in Jordan increasingly recognize the importance of C-TPAT certification, our inspection agency is at the forefront, offering comprehensive inspection services to facilitate and streamline the certification process.
