Canada’s Partners in Protection (PIP)
['Transportation Security']

- Highway carriers must participate in PIP to be in the FAST program and enter into Canada using the expedited “green” lane.
Partners in Protection (PIP) is a cooperative effort between private industry and Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to enhance Canadian border security, combat organized crime and terrorism, increase awareness of customs compliance issues, and help detect and prevent contraband smuggling.
The program is similar to its American counterpart, Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT). Participation in PIP is required for highway carriers that want to participate in the Free and Secure Trade (FAST) program to enter into Canada using the expedited “green” lane.
