Aug 25 (Reuters) - Union Pacific said on Friday that it was notified by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency that its Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) certification was temporarily suspended for a period of 90 days.
CTPAT is a voluntary public-private sector partnership with CBP that works to strengthen international supply chains and improve U.S. border security.
The railroad operator said it does not anticipate any delays from an operations perspective due to the temporary suspension, adding. It also plans to appeal the CBP's decision.
Union Pacific did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on reason for the suspension. (Reporting by Pratyush Thakur in Bengaluru; Editing by Krishna Chandra Eluri and Shailesh Kuber)
