A Secure Trade Partnership (STP) is a voluntary certification programme consistent with the World Customs Organisation (WCO)'s standards to secure and facilitate global trade.

 

This programme encourages companies to adopt robust security measures using a risk-based approach in their trading operations to improve global supply chain security. By participating in the programme, a company demonstrates commitment and willingness in keeping the supply chain secure.

 

This programme is open to all supply chain stakeholders, including importers, exporters, manufacturers, freight forwarders, warehouse operators, transporters and terminal operators. It allows flexibility and customisation of security measures based on the company's business model and its role in the supply chain.
