If you're exporting consignments by airfreight, your forwarder or small-parcels operator will need to comply with government-regulated security requirements. Security measures in the UK are regulated by the Aviation and Maritime Security Act 1990. This means that all airfreight consignments must either be screened or originate from a Department for Transport (DfT) accredited known consignor before being loaded onto an aircraft.
You should ask your freight forwarder how much extra time to factor into your delivery promises to allow for security procedures at airports.
To become a known shipper your business needs to be accredited by an inspector approved by the DfT. Once accredited, your consignments (subject to controls) can be treated as known cargo and not ordinarily subject to other security vetting before being loaded onto the aircraft. The known shipper regime isn't mandatory.
Alternatively, you can remain an unknown shipper. Your cargo must be treated as unknown and will be screened either by a regulated agent (freight forwarder) or the airline in question before being loaded.
Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) status
If you trade within the European Union as part of an international supply chain and are actively involved in customs operations, you can apply for AEO status. The AEO certificate is an internationally recognised quality mark which tells people that your customs controls and procedures are efficient and compliant and that you can be considered a secure and reliable trading partner in the supply chain. AEOs may benefit from simplified customs rules or customs controls relating to security and safety.
Airline and shipping companies established outside the European Community which benefit from related customs simplification procedures or hold an internationally recognised security or safety certificate may be considered as already meeting the corresponding criteria.
International trade accreditation schemes that many airlines and shipping companies are likely to hold and that match AEO certification include:
an internationally recognised security and/or safety certificate issued on the basis of international conventions
a relevant International Standard of the International Organization for Standardization, in particular ISO 28000 and 9001 - although others may also apply
a European Standard of the European Standards Organisations
other internationally recognised security and/or safety certificates issued by organisations such as the Transported Asset Protection Association
