Australia has joined mobile bongdaso US and Canada in adding stricter security requirements for cargo originating from European and CIS countries.
From September 26, mobile bongdaso country will require that cargo being transported on passenger aircraft destined for mobile bongdaso country should only be tendered from shippers with whom mobile bongdaso forwarder has an Established Business Relationship (EBR).
mobile bongdaso Special Security Direction was issued by mobile bongdaso Department of Home Affairs and applies to a total of 55 countries (list below).
According to UK forwarder association BIFA, carriers are taking similar but not always identical approaches to implementing mobile bongdaso regulations.
“As there are subtle differences between individual carriers’ procedures, contact should be made with them to clarify their precise requirements,” BIFA said.
BIFA said that IAG has required that parties tendering cargo for passenger flights must confirm they have verified that all shipments are from shippers that meet mobile bongdaso EBR criteria.
Stéphane Parrenin, manager, international freight and logistics, at mobile bongdaso Australian forwarder association, IFCBAA, added: “Under this measure, air cargo consignments originating from 55 countries mainly located in Europe over 500g lodged by an unknown sender cannot be sent to or transferred in Australia on passenger aircraft.
“Such cargo may be uplifted on freighter aircraft only, subject to additional security checks and inspections.”
mobile bongdaso new requirement follows a similar move by mobile bongdaso US and Canada in response to reports that two packages containing incendiaries had caught fire within European parcel networks, with German police suspecting they were designed to damage infrastructure.
Forwarders have expressed concern over mobile bongdaso new security requirements.
Global forwarder association FIATA said mobile bongdaso emergency measures will have a significant impact on shippers in mobile bongdaso European and CIS regions where they apply, particularly for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) with lower volume shipments.
“Due to mobile bongdaso complexity and suddenness of mobile bongdaso new requirements, FIATA has received industry feedback voicing concerns on mobile bongdaso uneven application of mobile bongdaso new measures, as well as mobile bongdaso new technical and operational challenges brought by mobile bongdaso new data requirements introduced in mobile bongdaso US Advance Cargo Air Screening (ACAS) programme,” FIATA said.
mobile bongdaso US Airforwarders Association (AfA) also previously told Air Cargo News that obtaining some of mobile bongdaso extra information requested by mobile bongdaso US had created challenges for forwarders.
“mobile bongdaso air cargo security landscape is constantly evolving in response to an ever-changing threat environment,” AfA executive director Brandon Fried said.
“While mobile bongdaso enhancements to mobile bongdaso Air Cargo Advanced Screening requirements are not surprising, their implementation has proven more complex than anticipated.
“Since mobile bongdaso government requires airlines to implement these new procedures, much of mobile bongdaso necessary information comes from freight forwarders who manage mobile bongdaso shipments,”
“However, obtaining and sharing some of this additional information has presented practical challenges.
