The mission of the GSV program is to partner with international suppliers and importers to drive the development of a global security verification process, resulting in greater assurance, risk control, efficiency and cost savings for all participants.

The GSV program is the result of a collaboration between industry thought leaders and decision makers to assure both governments and companies that supply chains operate efficiently and comply with the evolving C-TPAT, the WCO framework and related border security requirements. The alliance unites a seasoned team of customs, in-country field inspectors, and information technology experts with proven business procedures and proprietary technology to collaborate on security issues related to international trade.

The result of our combined expertise is a cutting-edge methodology for promoting best practices throughout the industry, enabling importers and suppliers to mitigate risks associated with the cross-border transport of goods, while simultaneously expediting their arrival at destination markets.
