CHAMP Cargosystems has shared that a growing number of Asia Pacific airlines have signed up to use its technology supporting air cargo compliance with customs and security measures.
The IT company said that there is a demand for software solutions that simplify regulatory compliance in line with government bodies requesting more granular air cargo pre-loading and pre-arrival detail.
Existing CHAMP customers Biman Bangladesh, Korean Air, Sichuan Airlines and Vietnam Airlines have this year signed multi-year contracts for Traxon Global Security (TGS), a platform designed to help carriers manage their Pre-Loading Advance Cargo Information (PLACI) filing.
TGS is designed to enable customers to be fully compliant with pre-loading security screenings including the European Union’s ICS2, the United States ACAS, the UK’s PreDICT, the UAE’s NAIC and Canada’s PACT, which is expected to become mandatory in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Additionally, Biman Bangladesh, Vietnam Airlines, China Southern, and China Cargo Airlines have signed multi-year contracts for reporting tool, Traxon Global Customs.
By using the tool, airlines are equipped with a streamlined information exchange featuring 60+ country customs authorities, regardless of format, communications protocols or processing rules.
CHAMP’s technology enables companies to automate PLACI filing and remain to reduce the possibility of customs penalties or errors associated with misfiling.
Zeta Loo, head of commercial operations for APAC at CHAMP Cargosystems, said: “Our customers in Asia Pacific have looked upon and entrusted CHAMP as a global IT supplier to help with their compliance needs. We are proud to support more efficient regulatory filing by providing a streamlined solution to meet both PLACI and ACI (Advance Cargo Information) compliance while they focus on other key activities running their businesses.”
