Tax-Air Standard Service

The TSA is requiring that all cargo moving on passenger airplanes must be 100% screened effective August 1st, 2010

The TSA has developed a Certified Cargo Screening Program (CCSP) as a solution to help the industry reach their 100% screening mandate. This program enables freight forwarders and shippers to pre-screen cargo at approved facilities, thereby avoiding any bottlenecks at the airport.

However, once screening has occurred, the TSA requires a subsequent Chain of Custody process with documentation from the time the cargo leaves the Certified Cargo Screening Facility (CCSF) to the time the airline receives the cargo.

To update you, our Tax-Air drivers have been successfully trained in this Chain of Custody process per TSA requirements, and we are able to properly transport your pre-screened cargo to the airlines.

We will continue to monitor information from the TSA regarding this new requirement and will communicate updates as they occur.

If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact us.
