2
00:00:13,700 --> 00:00:17,697
Over the last ten years there has been a shift in this agency.

3
00:00:17,707 --> 00:00:23,697
In how we view trade and how we're prioritizing the safety of those products to the American consumer.

4
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:29,908
I think a glowing example of that can be seen here at the Commercial Targeting and Analysis Center.

5
00:00:29,918 --> 00:00:32,873
Products that we use every day that are imported

6
00:00:32,883 --> 00:00:37,261
are directly tied to the work that we're doing here at CTAC.

7
00:00:37,271 --> 00:00:42,798
We've allowed eight different agencies to come in and be co-located with us here.

8
00:00:42,808 --> 00:00:48,224
We've been able to streamline a lot of processes that were very difficult to navigate prior to.

9
00:00:48,234 --> 00:00:52,705
We're much better positioned today than we were this time last year

10
00:00:52,715 --> 00:00:56,357
or two years ago or five years ago or ten years ago.

11
00:00:56,367 --> 00:01:01,001
From the American public's perspective they should have confidence in knowing that

12
00:01:01,011 --> 00:01:04,239
the products that they buy and use every day are safe.

13
00:01:04,249 --> 00:01:07,351
I look at products differently now than I ever did.

14
00:01:07,361 --> 00:01:09,806
There's so much more still to do,

15
00:01:09,816 --> 00:01:14,692
I hope that ten years from now we're light years beyond where we are today.

16
00:01:14,702 --> 00:01:17,701
But, it is with a great sense of satisfaction

17
00:01:17,711 --> 00:01:20,583
that can walk down the toy aisle or the grocery aisle

18
00:01:20,593 --> 00:01:23,195
and know that these products are safe

19
00:01:23,205 --> 00:01:26,886
and that they did have to undergo scrutiny from not only CBP

20
00:01:26,896 --> 00:01:30,062
but the partner agencies here at CTAC.
