As a result of the 26/10/1998 decree (Ministry of Transportation), air transport companies have an obligation to the effect of the decree to apply procedures and technical means to verify and detect objects that may damage the safety of the aircraft. This decree is also valid for airfreight.
The overall objective is to maximum the reduction for the risk of danger that a shipment presents for airfreight safety, through the implementation of adapted means and procedures, throughout the overall chain of events which includes preparation, warehousing, and transport of shipments delivered to the air companies.
Invoicing of airfreight safety corresponds to the repercussion of the costs generated by implementing the regulation.
This invoicing is applied to all the exported products.
