FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Phoenix International Earns C-TPAT Certification Wood Dale, Illinois - September 5, 2003 - Phoenix International Freight Services, Ltd. is now certified as a participant in the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism, a supply chain security program of the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection. Stephane Rambaud, president and chief operating officer for Phoenix, said, "Phoenix is committed to the C-TPAT program and playing an active role in the war against terrorism. By participating in this worldwide supply chain security initiative, we will help ensure a more secure supply chain for our customers." C-TPAT is a program designed to improve supply chain security through voluntary cooperation by importers, carriers, and intermediaries. Certification in the program requires that a company conduct a comprehensive self-assessment of security measures in exchange for expedited clearance of international shipments. "By joining with us in the C-TPAT program, Phoenix International Freight Services, Ltd. is contributing to the security of our borders and the continued free flow of international trade," said Jayson P. Ahern, assistant commissioner in CBP's office of field operations. "The participation of Phoenix and others from the broker and consolidator communities is but a first important step in what promises to be a sustained effort to meet the challenge posed by the terrorist threat to the United States."
