TSA & CCSP Consulting
Ensure a smooth freight forwarding process
World Wise Consulting can help you become a Certified Cargo Screening Facility (CCSF) and take control of your cargo screening process, allowing you to fast-track the loading of your shipments on passenger airlines while maintaining the highest security standards.
What is the TSA CCSP?
To ensure the movement of cargo is not impaired, the TSA developed the Certified Cargo Screening Program (CCSP). The CCSP is a voluntary program designed to move some of the screening processes to shippers, third-party logistics providers (3PLs), air forwarders, and independent screening services.
Companies that want to participate in this program can apply to operate Certified Cargo Screening Facilities (CCSFs). Cargo screened at a CCSF and then transported through a secure chain of custody will not need to be inspected at the airport, which means no delay in transportation to the customer.
Certified Cargo Screening Facilities must adhere to rules set by the TSA.
