CBP also hopes to manage both supply chain security and trade compliance with its Trusted Trader Program. Both the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are expected to begin pilot programs to give additional benefits to importers who have secured their supply-chains and internal controls. On August 20, 2013, the FDA announced it will begin accepting applications to participate in its Secure Supply Chain Pilot Program (SSCPP) which will run for two years, from February 2014 through February 2016. CBP has not yet officially announced, but is expected to announce it will begin a test pilot for its Trusted Trader Program.
