THE International Air Transport Association (IATA) and Federal Authorities for Identity, Citizen, Custom and Port Security (ICP) in United Arab Emirates will work on the deployment of a Pre-Loading Advance Cargo Information.
The UAE will be the first country outside of the US and the EU to implement the system to create a more secure air cargo supply chain in the country, reports Homeland Security Today of Oakton, Virginia.
The submission of advance cargo information enables ICP to target and assess risks related to cargo shipments prior to the arrival of the shipment to the country of destination.
This new layer of security to be applied before loading shipments bound to UAE complies with principles set jointly by the International Civil Aviation Organisation and World Customs Organisation. The cooperation between iata and ICP will ensure that industry standards will be integrated in this system.
'IATA has a strong relationship with ICP and is proud to assist in the development of the UAE's pre-loading electronic advance information programme. The project will employ IATA messaging standards and existing business processes in one of the few pre-loading electronic advance information programmes currently developed worldwide.
The endorsement of IATA standards by a national administration is considered an important step towards harmonising standards across the industry which is critical for the secure flow of trade.
