Secure Trade Partnership (STP)

Overview

As a key player in global supply chain security, Singapore Customs developed and implemented the Secure Trade Partnership (STP) Program.  An enhanced version of STP was developed and is called STP Plus. STP Plus entails a set of more robust security criteria a company needs in order to obtain a higher level of certification.

Both STP and STP Plus are voluntary programs.  APL is STP-Plus Certified and APL Logistics is STP Certified. For a copy of these certificates click on links directly below.

The STP Program benefits from Singapore Customs’ Mutual Recognition Arrangements (MRA) on supply chain security with Canadian and Korean authorities.   Singapore now joins the ranks of customs authorities such as Canada, the European Union, Japan, New Zealand and the United States, which have signed mutual recognition instruments.
