I am writing further to my previous email to again seek your assistance to advise your members who export to the US by air that screening requirements for air cargo to the US will change from 1 July.
These requirements have been imposed on airlines by the US Government. The Australian Government is working with businesses to help them comply with the US requirements, ensure readiness and reduce red tape while enabling a smooth transition.
As part of our communications campaign to increase awareness and assist compliance, we seek your assistance to distribute the attached email to your members who export to the US and others who may have an interest in these new requirements.
We will be providing you with one more email to send out to members between now and 1 July with further information.
Thank you again for your help. If you have any inquiries or we can be of further assistance, please contact us via email at aircargosecurity@infrastructure.gov.au
