The Canada-United States Cargo Security Project(CUSCSP), originally known as Operation Safe Commerce-Northeast, is an international/regional initiative, comprising a public-private partnership of federal, provincial, state, and local United States and Canadian members operating in northeastern North America. Its purpose is to provide a rapidly assembled prototype test-bed for elements of cargo container supply chain security. Since early 2002, it has had as its strategic goal the production of demonstration models for the international container shipping system that maintain open borders and facilitate commerce while improving security, in-transit tracking and monitoring and data query capability designed to validate and facilitate the movement of containerized cargo. 1, record 6, English, - Canada%2DUnited%20States%20Cargo%20Security%20Project
