Air Cargo: “Known Shipper” rules to change

Even before the U.K. authorities uncovered a suspected terror plot targeting U.S.-bound aircraft, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was developing stricter limits for the “known shipper” designation for air cargo shippers. The National Industrial Transportation League’s Select Committee on Security (www.nitl.org) reports the new rules would limit the designation “known shipper” to U.S. facilities/shippers. This, says Peter Gatti, could confine air freight shipments originating outside the U.S. to cargo-only aircraft.
