The TSA which has brought out this ruling is doing so to meet the 100% screening mandate as placed in law in the USA under the 9/11 Act in 2007 No one including carriers is happy with what the TSA has done. There is absolutely nothing that can be done by the carriers if they wish to keep flying to the USA with PAX aircraft and belly cargo. The TSA have recognized as a result of the worldwide outcry by various global organizations that there is a need to circulate some public language providing a non-SSI summary.

Responses to FIATA Concerns over SFP IATA's position regarding audit/validation and registration/certification is that these decisions will be made by, or at the direction of, participating states - not by IATA. IATA is unlikely to associate itself with audit/validation registration/certification undertaken by other industry associations, or to endorse their standards, SFP is still developing but likely to include a model national secure freight program to be made available to participating states to write into their national legislation

Singapore: The Authorities want to ensure that agents (RCA) handling the transportation of cargo are able to make a distinction between known and unknown shippers. In order to meet the criteria to be a known shipper, the shipper must ship at least 3 times in the last 12 months, with at least 1 shipment in the last 6 months with the same RCA. Thereafter the shipper only needs to ship once every 6 months to maintain its status. The status is not transferable within RCAs. Shippers possessing STP, CTPAT Tier 2 & 3 or TAPA A & B certification can be recognized as a known consignor by any RCA.
