Trade Facilitation : Everyone's Business'
The Global Alliance for Trade Facilitation supports governments
in developing countries in implementing the World Trade Organisation’s Trade
Facilitation Agreement. The Alliance brings together governments and
businesses of all sizes as equal partners to deliver targeted trade reforms
that ultimately boost trade competitiveness and business conditions, which
are key drivers of inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction. Over 50 Years of Standards Evolution in Live Animals Transport
by Air In 2024, the IATA Live Animals Regulations (LAR) will be
celebrating its 50th edition. In over half a century, the air transport of
live animals has significantly evolved. It began with the pioneering flight
of an animal in 1909, leading to the release of the 1st edition of the IATA
LAR in 1969 and the establishment of Live Animals and Perishables Board
(LAPB). In the 1980s, IATA, along with the World Organisation for Animal
Health, initiated collaborative efforts on topics of mutual interest, such as
welfare during the transport of live animals. A pivotal moment arrived in
2004 when the 31st edition was integrated into EU legislation EC1/2005. Significant Changes to the IATA Cargo Handling Manual As a cargo professional, you’ve no doubt developed
your own way of doing things. The trouble is, no item is shipped by just one
person or even one company. When everyone in the transport chain – ground handlers,
freight forwarders and airlines – work according to the same
guidelines, damage, delays, refusals, and fines are significantly reduced.
The IATA Cargo Handling Manual (ICHM) covers the entire shipping process
door-to-door and describes the operating procedures standard in every stage
of the transport chain in plain language. What are the New Regulations and Standards in Air Cargo and
Ground Handling Operations? In order to prepare for the 2024 changes, airlines,
ground service providers, freight forwarders, shippers, airports, and
manufacturers amongst others need to comply with the new regulations that
come into effect on January 1, 2024. To do that, you should ensure to use the
latest edition of the IATA manuals, which are updated annually. Learn what’s
new in the 2024 edition of the manuals. How to Get Trained and Certified on dangerous Goods
Transported by Air? More than 1.25 million consignments of dangerous
goods are transported by air each year, and with air cargo quantities increasing,
the number of dangerous goods being shipped will continue to increase. The
importance of shipping and handling dangerous goods safely is of the utmost importance,
and this requires dangerous goods training and certification. know about shipping Lithium Batteries by Air The global lithium batteries market is due to
quadruple by 2030. With lithium batteries becoming a more popular power
source, from small electronics to electric cars, how to ship lithium
batteries safely is a growing concern. Lithium batteries can often be incorrectly packaged
or labeled, leading to fines and loss of business. Our latest white paper “Make Lithium Batteries Safe to Ship” tells you all of
what you need to know about this critical area, from the different chemistries
involved to the many solutions on offer across the value chain. PLACI: The new security regulation changing air cargo industry
dynamics Responding to security threats and incidents,
WCO and ICAO have jointly introduced in 2019 an additional layer in the
management of air cargo security risk. This additional security layer comes on top
of existing security regimes based on pre-arrival Advance Cargo Information (ACI)
requirements. The new security regime, focused on assessing the risk prior to
shipment loading, is called Pre-Loading Advance Cargo Information (PLACI). As of 2023, 35% of the world annual cargo shipments
are being regulated by the individual PLACI initiatives by EU, UK, UAE, and
Canada authorities. What do you risk if you are not complying with PLACI? 5th IATA-UPU Airmail Experience of EU ICS2 R2
