Export Air Cargo Security Is Changing

All export air cargo regardless of the destination will need to be examined at a piece-level or originate from a Known Consignor. This change is necessary to ensure that Australia is responding to the evolving terrorist threat.

If you haven’t already done so, you now need to finalise arrangements with your supply chain specialist -

If and how the change will impact your current export arrangements.

For example:
o Possible changes to delivery times or delays
o Airline/Terminal/Flight cut-off changes
o Possible increases in costs

Your options to minimise the impact of the change -

For example:
o Packaging of your products
o Handling of consolidated cargo
o Scheduling of your deliveries
o Flow your cargo is transported

In preparation this industry wide change, we have been working hard to ensure that the new processes are a seamless and stress free as possible.
