TIACA continues to drive uniform advanced data filing standards globally
THE International Air Cargo Association (TIACA), which represents members from across the supply chain, has been working with Europe's DG Mobility and Transport on its advanced-data requirement, that comes into force in May 2016.
However, TIACA secretary general Doug Brittin said it could be a while before European countries are ready to accept filings for the requirement, reported Air Cargo News.
The association is also working with other countries, the World Customs Organization (WCO) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to ensure that there is alignment in the so called 7+1 advanced data sets to be implemented in other regions.
"We are one of the key members of ICAO and WCO working group that aims to establish global [advanced data] standards," Mr Brittin was quoted as saying.
"We made some good progress over the last half year with that group with a standard format of what data elements need to be filed, at least with 7+1, which has now become part of the WCO framework, so we are pleased to see that as there was a lot of opportunity to go all over the place.
"We'd like to see all the advanced data requirements aligned because you've got the US, Canada, China, Japan and South Africa all looking at these potential programmes in the future.
"It's extremely important that as new countries look at putting programmes in place, they follow the same basic premise.
"With the US and Canada we have a close working relationships with US Customs and Border Protection, the Transportation Security Administration and the Canada Border Services Agency to say if you do this, this is going to have this impact on the carriers and this impact on the forwarders.
"So let's figure out how to do that before we go down the path of writing regulations."
