The document, referred to as an \u201carrangement\u201d, indicates that the security requirements or standards of the foreign industry partnership program, as well as its validation or audit procedures, are the same or similar with those of the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) program.<\/p>\n<p>The essential concept of MR is that C-TPAT and the foreign program are compatible in both theory and practice so that one program may recognize the validation findings of the other program.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Benefits envisioned by an MRA include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Efficiency<\/li>\n<li>Risk Assessment Tool<\/li>\n<li>Less Redundancy\/Duplication of Efforts<\/li>\n<li>Common Standard\/Trade Facilitation<\/li>\n<li>Transparency<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to Mexico, the United States also has mutual recognition arrangements with New Zealand, Canada, Japan, Korea, Israel, Jordan, the European Union and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. &amp;
