Free And Secure Trade (FAST)

The Free and Secure Trade (FAST) program is a joint Canada-U.S. initiative involving the Canada Border Services Agency, Citizenship and Immigration Canada and, the United States Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

It is a harmonized commercial process offered to pre-approved importers, carriers, and registered drivers. Shipments for approved companies, transported by approved carriers using registered drivers, will be cleared into either country with greater speed and certainty, and at a reduced cost of compliance.

In Canada, FAST eligibility requires the importer to be a participant to the CSA program and as well as increased security measures under the PIP program.

In the USA, FAST eligibility requires the importer to be a participant in the C-TPAT program.
