Introduction

The Air Carrier Security Measures (ACSMs) and the Security Measures Respecting Air Cargo (SMRAC) 1 both require air carriers and freight forwarders to screen and secure air cargo. The deadline for 100 per cent screening of air cargo is January 1, 2014.

Who will this affect?

  • Businesses who ship their goods by air
  • Businesses who handle or want to handle secure air cargo (i.e. trucking companies, warehouse operators, logistic companies)

Transport Canada will conduct both online and face-to-face consultations from September through October 2012, to discuss a proposed regulatory framework that includes regulations and standards.

This comprehensive regulatory framework will:

  • Allow shippers to screen and secure air cargo; and
  • Give cargo operators such as warehouse operators and trucking companies the opportunity to be part of Canada’s secure supply chain. 

The following table shows the dates and locations of the upcoming consultation meetings.
