CTPAT Status Verification Interface SVI Overview
CTPAT Status Verification Interface SVI Overview
As stated in the C-TPAT Security Criteria, Certified C-TPAT partners need to verify the
participation status of other eligible C-TPAT business partners. To address this need, CBP has
created the Status Verification Interface (SVI). The SVI allows consenting certified C-TPAT partners
to verify the participation status of other consenting certified C-TPAT partners. Each party must
have consented to the release of their company name among the C-TPAT membership. The SVI is
the point of electronic access to verify the C-TPAT status of another Status Verification Interface
Participant (SVIP).
Access to the C-TPAT SVI is now found in the C-TPAT Security Link Portal. SVI Access is granted
to certified C-TPAT partners who meet the specific SVIP criteria.
