The new CTPAT Minimum Security Criteria mandates that companies exporting to the United States must take measures to prevent the introduction of foreign animal and plant contaminants into in instruments of international traffic, such as sea containers and trailers. The new Minimum Security Criteria also require that those loading containers receive training in how to identify potential contaminants, how to ensure that pallets are free from contaminants, and how to remedy potential contamination once it is identified. This training is intended to provide this information to those working closely with shipments being exported to the United States.
