Air Cargo Security
Air cargo security is regulated by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and if you ship air freight you have undoubtedly heard the term “Known Shipper” and felt the effects of the Indirect Air Carriers Standard Security Program (IACSSP). Indirect Air Carriers (IAC’s), such as PEI, are regulated by TSA and the IACSSP and must adhere to the cargo security procedures contained therein.
Cargo security is an issue that we are all concerned about. Not only for our personal safety but also for the security of the domestic and international supply chain that delivers the products and services that we buy and sell everyday. The free flow of goods and services throughout the global supply chain is vital to the U.S. economy.
PEI advocates an approach to cargo security that is both secure and that does not hinder the free flow of commerce. As a long standing member of the Airforwarders Association PEI has joined ranks with thousands of others in the transportation industry to work closely with TSA on this vital security and economic issue. To learn more about the state of cargo security please view the video.

INCOTERMS
International Commercial Terms published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), that are commonly used in international contracts.
When negotiating an international sales contract, both parties need to pay as much attention to the terms of sale as to the sales price. To make it as clear as possible, an international set of trade terms (INCOTERMS) has been adopted by most countries that defines exactly the responsibilities and risks of both the buyer and seller including while the merchandise is in transit.
