US Customs to use IATA Cargo messaging in cross-border data collection
THE International Air Transport Association's (IATA) Cargo-XML messaging standard is to be utilised by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency to collect advance cross-border data on US export shipments.
The new data format will make electronic communication between CBP's Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) system, airlines, and other air cargo stakeholders simpler and more efficient, said IATA vice president Nick Careen.
It is expected to facilitate growth in trade, ensure cargo security, and foster participation in global commerce through advance electronic data submission for air cargo shipments.
"Airlines, forwarders, shippers and border agencies share the common goals of simplifying processes, enhancing efficiency and maximising safety and security," said Mr Careen.
"The key to achieving this is industry collaboration and standardisation on a global scale. Having support for Cargo-XML from CBP, one of the world's largest federal law enforcement agencies, will positively contribute towards the industry achieving its objective, the global adoption of a standard air cargo messaging system."
