Validations A Necessity?
15SGS Presentation to The First National Conference on Safe Trade and AEO
Why Third Parties are Necessary: Customs
“Customs Administration, together with representatives from the trade community will design validation processes…[for] AEOs”5
Capacity to extend Borders Customs have inadequate resources to validate and continually
monitor supply chains outside borders As AEO programs expand these resources will be stretched
Capability for security: Customs primary focus is on protection of revenue and economic
interest…… they typically lack security expertise
Political Jurisdictional rights There is no International Jurisdiction for Trade - Customs have no
inspection/enforcement rights outside their own territory
AEO Supply Chains4 are too complex and evolve too rapidly Multiple blind spots – container stuffing, inland dray Operational - 20+ handoffs, 25+ documents, 200+ data elements
16SGS Presentation to The First National Conference on Safe Trade and AEO
Why Third Party Validations
“Validation process based on principles of audit and Inspection”6
Security is Standardised, systems, process approach Measurement and proper allocation of Benefits “Accreditation procedures that offer incentives”
US Experience - Validations “Trust and Verify” prerequisite Gaming - no validations allows free riding & competitive
disadvantage Self verification without assurance leads to lower level of
complaince6
Disincentives – threat of detection against a reliance “on companies that we haven't even gone out to check7
“inadvertently … actually raise the risk of a WMD being smuggled into the United States via a participant’s supply chain” 8
17SGS Presentation to The First National Conference on Safe Trade and AEO
Why Third are Necessary: Private Sector “Ensure all service providers commit to the implementation and adherence to security
recommendations” “Regular visits to AEO suppliers to verify requirements”11
“Trading Partner Security extends to AEO suppliers …. assessment and training are key components” 9
Customs recognize AEO compliance with other Intergovernmental organizations” 10
