Certifications
Crescent Expeditors is Fully Certified to Transport Your Cargo Safely and On Time.
Canadian and US Bonded Carrier
Crescent Expeditors is a bonded carrier certified with both the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and US Customs & Border Protection. This means your goods are safely and securely transported across Canada and the United States, with no unnecessary delays, hidden fees, or hassles. Better yet, being a bonded carrier means we can use shortcuts through both Canadian and US “corridors”, allowing your freight to be delivered faster.
C-TPAT
C-TPAT is the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism. C-TPAT certification means that Crescent Expeditors requires little cargo inspections when crossing the border. In those rare instances where inspection is necessary, C-TPAT certification gives Crescent Expeditors priority status. All of this translates into shorter delays at the border and faster delivery of your goods. It also means your shipment is more secure and transported safely to where you need it.
PIP
As a member of the Partners in Protection (PIP) program, Crescent Expeditors adheres to the highest security standards set by the Canadian Border Safety Agency. As such, we are recognized as “trusted traders” by the border agents, allowing for less hassles and inspections at the border. This means your goods are transported more quickly, safely, and securely across the border, getting your load to its destination on time.
ACE
The Automated Commercial Environment is a US Customs and Border Protection program to eliminate paperwork, reduce hold-ups and hassles, and speed up trade across the border. Crescent Expeditors is part of this automated system that ensures our compliance with US laws and regulations, meaning that our trucks are far less likely to be inspected or delayed at the border. Your goods move quicker and with greater certainty to their destination.
ACI
The Advance Commercial Information (ACI) program allows for much quicker delivery of goods into Canada. This is done by sending information regarding your shipment to the border agents before the carrier arrives, thus saving a great deal of hassles and time at the border. With ACI, along with our other certifications, you can rest assured that Crescent Expeditors is bringing your goods across the border as fast as possible.
HAZMAT
Crescent Expeditors is certified to deliver hazardous materials of all kinds, including various chemicals (such as flammable, corrosive or oxidizing substances), sensitive materials and dangerous equipment. Through our experience and training in TDG (transportation of dangerous goods) and WHMIS (workplace hazardous materials information system), we’re well-prepared to handle your goods, whatever they may be.
