Free Webinar on Air Cargo Screening – February 10

(American Shipper/NITL)

American Shipper, in partnership with the National Industrial Transportation League (NITL) and the Express Delivery and Logistics Association (XLA), will be hosting a free 90 minute webinar on Wednesday, February 10th on the U.S. Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) 100% Air Cargo Screening Mandate which takes effect on August 1, 2010.

As of that date, all cargo carried aboard passenger aircraft must be screened. While the industry may have some eight months to prepare for the new requirement, in order to avoid serious problems it will be necessary for many shippers to consider enrolling in the TSA's Certified Cargo Screening Program (CCSP).

The webinar will feature Mr. Douglas Brittin of TSA and Mr. Tom Lewandowski of Geodis Americas, a seasoned industry professional with hands-on experience in setting up a CCSP. They will be joined by Richard Macomber, also of Geodis America and Chairman of the League's Air Transportation Committee, and Jim Conway, Executive Director for XLA.

The CCSP program will be critical for many companies and may be the only solution to avoid congestion, bottlenecks and unexpected delays once the mandate comes into effect. Our webinar will guide you step-by-step on what you need to know to prepare for the new screening mandate and how to avoid the pitfalls that may keep your valuable and time sensitive cargo from moving on time.
