Every department, branch, country, network partner and individual person at UTi is a part of this journey called NextLeap. What we will discuss today is OUR CLEAR COMMITMENT to make this happen.

2. What is CSI? In post-9/11 America, the
Container Security Initiative (CSI)
is intended to extend our zone of security outward so that
American borders are the last line of defense, not the first.
CSI was announced by the Commissioner of Customer & Border Protection (CBP), Robert C. Bonner in January 2002
Maritime containers that pose a risk for terrorism are identified and examined at foreign ports before they are shipped to the United States

3. CSI Consists of four core elements:
Using intelligence and automated information to identify and target containers that pose a risk for terrorism;
Pre-screening those containers that pose a risk at the port of departure before they arrive at U.S. ports;
Using detection technology to quickly pre-screen containers that pose a risk; and;
Using smarter, tamper-evident containers.

4. High volumes to the United States
Containerized shipping is a critical component of global trade because about 90% of the world's trade is transported in cargo containers.
Nearly seven million cargo containers arrive on ships and are offloaded at U.S. seaports each year.

5. Focusing on Top Foreign Ports
Early on, CSI focused on implementing the program at the top 20 foreign ports which ship approximately two thirds of the volume of containers to the U.S. Governments from these 20 foreign ports have already agreed to implement CSI.

6. Reciprocal Programs
Also a reciprocal program, CSI offers its participant countries the opportunity to send their customs officers to major U.S. ports to target ocean-going, containerized cargo to be exported to their countries.
As part of reciprocal CSI agreements with Japan and Canada, those countries currently station their customs personnel in U.S. ports as part of the CSI program.
