Supply Chain Security. The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (“C-TPAT”) program of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Authorized Economic Operator for Security program of the European Union (“EU AEO”) and similar World Customs Organization SAFE Framework of Standards (collectively, “SAFE Framework”) programs are designed to improve the security of shipments in international trade. C-TPAT applies only to Sellers with non-U.S. locations that are involved in the manufacture, warehousing or shipment of goods to Buyer or to a customer or supplier of Buyer located in the U.S. EU AEO applies only to Sellers that are involved in the manufacture, warehousing or shipment of goods originating in, transported through or destined for the EU. Seller agrees that it will review the C-TPAT requirements for foreign manufacturers as outlined at: xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/xp/cgov/trade/cargo_security/ctpat/ctpat_application_material/ctpat_security_guidelines/ and the EU AEO and other SAFE Framework requirements appropriate for its business and that it will maintain and implement a written plan for security procedures in accordance with them as applicable (“Security Plan”).

Supply Chain Security.

Supply Chain Security. To ensure the security of Goods, Supplier must be a member of the U.S. Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT), Canadian Partners in Protection (PIP) program, the European Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) security program, or an equivalent supply chain security program, as applicable. Or, upon request, Supplier must submit to audits and provide a signed agreement to strengthen supply chain security. In addition, Supplier must use international transportation providers certified under a supply chain security program.
Supply Chain Security. A. CUSTOMS - TRADE PARTNERSHIP AGAINST TERRORISM – Buyer participates in and supports the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) program. This program is designed to protect the supply chain from the introduction of hazardous or prohibited contents in shipments to the United States or to any of Buyer’s facility, sub-tier supplier, or customer, wherever located. Shipments through U.S. importers, from manufacturers in foreign countries, and through U.S. brokers, freight forwarders, and/or carriers should be with certified and validated C-TPAT transportation companies unless otherwise approved by Buyer. Information about C-TPAT may be found at xxx.xxx.xxx. Seller is expected to comply with the requirements of the C-TPAT initiative, whether or not a participant, and will provide Buyer with necessary documentation through Buyer’s web based C-TPAT Secure system supporting compliance upon request of Buyer. Seller will provide this document to the Buyer in the manner requested by the Buyer. Failure to comply will automatically rate the Seller’s supply chain security level as “High Risk”.
Supply Chain Security. Buyer operates according to a uniform and company-wide framework on Supply Chain Security in which all applicable requirements of governmental security programs like the U.S. Customs and Border Protection program C-TPAT (Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) and Authorized Economic Operator programs (AEO)) are incorporated. Such programs require security standards from its Supplier as well. It is preferred that NXP's goods related suppliers shall therefore be actively involved in the governmental Supply Chain Security Programs, like CTPAT, AEO, Air Security and or similar governmental programs and or shall have measures in place (internal Supply Chain Security Policy and Program) in order to ensure goods are produced, stored, prepared, packed, loaded in and transported from safe business premises, to ensure goods are protected against unauthorized intervention during production, storage, preparation, packing loading and transport, and to ensure goods are forwarded and shipped by authorized third parties.
