Global CFS When it comes to secure air cargo, compliance isn’t optional—it’s the ticket to keeping freight moving. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Certified Cargo Screening Facility (CCSF) program set the standards for how shipments must be screened before boarding passenger aircraft.
At Global CFS, we live and breathe this process, ensuring freight is screened efficiently, compliantly, and without disrupting tight airfreight schedules. Whether you’re a forwarder, shipper, or carrier, understanding TSA/CCSF regulations is key to protecting cargo and keeping it on schedule.
TSA & CCSF in Plain Terms
- TSA Oversight – Sets national security standards for air cargo.
- CCSF Program – Allows approved facilities to screen cargo before it reaches the airport.
- Why It Matters – Screening delays at the airport can mean missed flights, extra costs, and unhappy customers.
Best Practices for TSA/CCSF Compliance
- Pre-Plan Shipments – Ensure screening requirements are known before cargo arrives.
- Use Certified Facilities – Work with CCSFs that meet TSA’s strict standards for screening technology, trained personnel, and secure handling.
- Document Everything – Maintain clear records for screening results, chain of custody, and regulatory compliance.
- Stay Current – TSA regulations can change; regular training and communication with partners keep you compliant.
- Integrate Screening into the Supply Chain – Make it part of the standard workflow, not a last-minute task.
