How CHAMP's Traxon suite consistently stays ahead of the regulatory compliance curve.
In recent years, the air cargo community has seen numerous governing bodies implement more stringent regulatory requirements. This includes more granular information about goods entering and exiting their countries, for various reasons including taxation and security.
With the release of Import Control System 2 (ICS2), the EU was one of the first authorities to make sending the Harmonized Commodity (HS/HCC) codes a mandatory requirement. This makes e-commerce filing on a parcel level mandatory for all goods entering the EU territory and includes Norway and Switzerland.
Similarly, the UAE’s National Advance Information Center (NAIC) recently developed the Advance Cargo Information program which requires the mandatory advance filing of HS codes for all goods being imported to, exported from, and transiting through the UAE.
And just as the US introduced their Air Cargo Advance Screening (ACAS) program in 2018, the EU PRECISE and UAE NAIC programs have been requested to enforce not only ACI (pre-arrival) but also PLACI (pre-load) filing when shipping goods to those countries.
Transport Canada also implemented their PACT initiative in late 2023, and the UK is likely to follow with their PREDICT program.
In the next few years, it’s likely that other regions will develop similar processes as the trend shows no signs of slowing down.
This is thought to be born from a need for tighter safety and security processes, as governments implement systems that protect national interests.
As a result, the air cargo industry will need to adapt and comply with changing regulations in order to avoid penalties or misfiling.
CHAMP has consistently remained ahead of the curve when it comes to complying with regulatory processes. By maintaining strong relationships with regulatory bodies and anticipating upcoming filing changes, CHAMP has been able to conduct early pilots and diligent testing that ensures a seamless customer experience by the time compliance initiatives are live.
