Hong Kong's Civil Aviation Department (CAD) has announced that enhancements will be made to their air cargo security regulated agent regime (RAR) effective July 15, 2013, in accordance with security standards set forth by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
The adherence to the new ICAO air cargo security standards will necessitate the extension of the application of the RAR to cargo carried on all-cargo aircraft. After consultation with the air cargo industry representative bodies including the Hong Kong Shippers' Council (HKSC), Hongkong Association of Freight Forwarding and Logistics Limited (HAFFA) and Carrier Liaison Group (CLG), the Requirement Document for Consignor has been developed to further strengthen the supply chain security process by regularizing the aviation security requirements to be complied with by consignors.
The Requirement Document for Consignor sets out the details of cargo operations of each consignor for compliance with the RAR. The Regulated Agent Security Program which forms part of the Application for Registration as Regulated Agent, lays down details of cargo operations of each regulated agent for compliance with the RAR.
