Trade and Cargo Security Summit (TCSS)

CBP’s annual Trade and Cargo Security Summit has become a widely anticipated and expected hybrid event by the public and private sector. In 2022, CBP combined the long-established reputations of the CBP Trade Symposium and the Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) conference. The Summit brings together executives and managers from a broad spectrum of the international trade and transportation community and CBP for a discussion of the agency’s top priorities, policies, and initiatives. Attendees represent over 1,300 in-person and up to 3,000 virtual importers, exporters, carriers, brokers, attorneys, trade associations, other Government agencies, Congress, and the press. CBP’s offices of Trade Relations (OTR) and Field Operations (OFO) are responsible for providing timely information to the international trade community regarding regulations and initiatives to ensure transparency and accountability.

2026 Trade and Cargo Security Summit Postponed. New Dates September 8-10, 2026, at Hyatt Regency in Dallas, TX.
