As a validated member of the U.S. Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT), Sportsman's Guide expects
all suppliers to comply with our efforts to ensure supply chain security. Our business partners must maintain
adequate physical and procedural security measures including background checks on all personnel, security and
threat awareness training, and preserving the physical integrity of all orders through the point of secure
conveyance to the FOB port.
In an effort to ensure respect for workers' rights, the security and integrity of our supply chain, and compliance with applicable import laws and regulations, Sportsman's Guide requires all of its suppliers/vendors to complete, submit, and have approved a Business Partnership Agreement (BPA). A BPA is required for every manufacturer/factory a vendor employs to fulfill Sportsman's Guide purchase orders.
Adherence to the terms set out in the BPA is a condition of doing business with Sportsman's Guide. No shipments will be approved or payments issued until a properly completed BPA has been submitted and approved.
If you are a new supplier, please begin by opening Import Compliance Checklist and following the instructions it sets forth. This will guide you to the next appropriate checklist and compliance documents.
