C-TPAT (Customs Trade Partners Against Terrorism)

Tier 2 certified in good standing since 2005.

Implemented by US Customs and Border Protection, C-TPAT ensures the secure transport of goods into the USA. Participating in the program means Metropolitan Tea plays an active role in the war on terrorism.

C-TPAT certification ensures our goods travel swiftly across borders. Compliance includes:

• Random hazard analysis testing
• Screening of all suppliers in their countries of origin
• Detailed employee background checks
• Extremely high levels of shipping container and conveyance scrutiny

Annual audits

Metropolitan undergoes an annual audit to ensure that C-TPAT documentation is maintained.
