Known Shipper Program
The Known Shipper Program is a cargo security effort designed to identify and verify reputable companies that can ship cargo on passenger flights. This program, managed by aviation and transport security authorities such as the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in the United States, aims to improve air cargo safety while speeding up freight transit through secure supply chains. Verified shippers receive expedited screening procedures, which reduce delays and the need for additional inspections.
In logistics solutions such as CargoWise, Known Shipper status is built into compliance workflows to ensure that only approved companies are assigned to air cargo reservations. This lowers risk and promotes adherence to global regulatory systems. Freight forwarders and logistics companies gain from providing speedier service to clients while maintaining security. The program is critical in balancing efficient cargo handling with stringent security standards in international trade.
