Customs
Always conscious of the importance of Customs Compliance, we are more than happy to get involved in the different voluntary programs set up by Customs Services. Indeed, we applied for C-TPAT and FAST programs in December 2003, and received both accreditations in July 2004. Our drivers are also encouraged to participate in the FAST program and to date, more than 70% of them have submitted their FAST application.
At SGT we are committed to ensure the security of our chain of supply and compliance to Customs Procedures. In our continued efforts, we have also submitted our application to CSA and PIP programs and are awaiting our certification. We also recognize that Customs requirements change rapidly and with that in mind we are staying in tune with new regulations so that we can keep our staff an drivers well informed. In addition, to make sure that their knowledge is up to date, all our drivers are given an inhouse course covering Canada and United States customs procedures.
