Air Cargo Programs NEWS
Recent Air Cargo Security Changes
The TSA ensures the security of the air cargo supply
chain by mandating air carriers and freight forwarders
to implement specific security measures. These security
measures contained in the various carrier security
programs are Sensitive Security Information (SSI) which
is prohibited from public distribution. Although some of
the security measures required by the carriers are
readily visible to the public, most are carried out
behind the scenes.
Security measures issued by
TSA in the various carrier security programs are
Sensitive Security Information (SSI) and may not be
distributed to the public.
On October 23, 2006, Transportation Security
Administration issued additional enhanced cargo security
measures that may subject your cargo to inspection. The
new security measures related to air cargo directly and
indirectly require additional procedures to be
implemented by several portions of the air
transportation supply chain including air carriers,
freight forwarders, and shippers. On January 8, 2007,
TSA issued seven new security programs to the air
carriers, all-cargo carriers, and indirect air carriers.
The effective date for implementation of the
requirements in the security programs was March 12,
2007. The new security programs involve cargo
security changes that affect all modes within the air
cargo supply chain.
This letter is to inform shippers that some of the
new requirements implemented on October 23, 2006, and
March 12, 2007, may require shippers to provide personal
information/data to their transportation service
providers and may subject their cargo to inspection.
A shipper?s refusal to provide this information and
consent to inspection may have the carrier refuse the
shipment and decline subsequent air transport.
