Lionel Hitchen USA is proud to announce that the company has been granted Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (known as “C-TPAT”) Tier II status by Customs and Border Protection.

Earlier this year, Customs and Border Protection officers visited Lionel Hitchen USA to inspect its facilities, security systems, and procedures. A few weeks later, the validation audit was continued onto the site of its main supplier, Lionel Hitchen (Essential Oils) Ltd, based in the United Kingdom. Fully committed to building co-operative relationships that improve the international supply chain security, Lionel Hitchen (EO) Ltd organised, during this visit, a meeting between U.S. CBP officers and British HM Revenue & Customs officers, to discuss and compare the American C-TPAT and European AEO (Authorised Economic Operators) programs.

Since its foundation in 1965, Lionel Hitchen’s reputation within the food industry has been founded on the quality and consistency of its products, and this focus has recently been applied to Product Safety and Product Security. The company sees this latest achievement as a significant recognition of its commitment to managing and maintaining its programs and procedures to the highest standards.

Lionel Hitchen USA’s C-TPAT Tier II status will facilitate the entry of its products into the United States. Our customers will benefit from shortened delivery times, and will be assured of being supplied high-quality, safe and secured food and beverage ingredients.
