Two agencies, two sets of records.
Security and customs requirements are kept in different places, so the full picture of a shipment is never in one file.
COMPLIANCE · DHS
Homeland Security requirements, in one record.
The Department of Homeland Security agencies that touch regulated cargo and flight operations: TSA for air cargo security, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection when a shipment crosses the border.
Where it breaks
Advance data filed late.
Cross-border cargo waits on the ramp because the advance information wasn't sent in time.
Directives read once.
A new security directive arrives, but no one confirms what it changes for your operation.
What it covers
TSA air cargo security
Security programs, cargo screening, known shipper, training and threat assessments.
TSA complianceCBP air cargo
Advance air cargo information and the import and export records for cross-border shipments.
Directives and amendments
DHS and TSA directives that apply to your operation, recorded with the date each takes effect.
Inspection-ready records
One record per shipment that shows security and customs together when an inspector asks.
