FAST, which stands for Free and Secure Trade, is a program administered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that allows pre-approved, low-risk shipments to move quickly and securely through the international supply chain. The program is available to importers, carriers, and other trade partners who have been deemed low-risk by CBP and have enrolled in the program. Participants in the FAST program are able to enjoy benefits such as expedited processing of their shipments at the border, reduced wait times, and fewer physical inspections. The goal of the program is to promote trade and facilitate the efficient flow of goods across the border while maintaining security and protecting against potential threats.
