  1. What is the significance of a high-security seal on cargo containers?

    Answer: It provides tamper evidence and meets ISO 17712 standards, indicating the container has not been opened since sealing

    ISO 17712-compliant high-security seals provide tamper-evident protection and are required for cargo moving under C-TPAT and CBP standards.

  2. What must be done when a discrepancy is found between cargo documentation and actual contents?

    Answer: The shipment must be flagged, quarantined, and the discrepancy reported to the appropriate authorities

    Documentation discrepancies are a security red flag and must be reported immediately — correcting paperwork without investigation is a compliance violation.

    Answer: At least 60 days

    TSA requires certified cargo screening facilities to retain screening records for at least 60 days to support audits and investigations.

  4. What is the primary purpose of Advance Cargo Information (ACI) requirements?

    Answer: To allow customs and security agencies to assess risk and identify high-risk cargo before it arrives

    ACI requirements mandate electronic submission of cargo data before arrival so authorities can perform risk assessment and target high-risk shipments.

  5. Which US government agency is responsible for regulating security in air cargo operations?

    Answer: The Transportation Security Administration (TSA)

    TSA is responsible for cargo security regulations in the aviation sector under the Aviation and Transportation Security Act.

  6. What is the Indirect Air Carrier (IAC) Standard Security Program?

    Answer: A TSA-mandated security program that freight forwarders must adopt to handle cargo that will be transported by air

    The IAC Standard Security Program sets mandatory security requirements for freight forwarders acting as indirect air carriers under TSA oversight.
