Transportation Security

The objective of secure transportation of the screened cargo from the KC, RA or RACSF to a CTO at airport is to protect screened cargo against unlawful interference. In this regard, driver is required to identity himself or herself, and not to leave vehicles unattended / to make unscheduled stop (except for emergency). If it is unavoidable to leave the vehicle unattended, the security of the consignment and the integrity of seals or locks shall be checked for any sign of tampering, suspicion or evidence of unlawful interference. Further details of these requirements can be found in the KC Application Form, RA Application Form or RACSF Application Form. In processing an application for KC, RA or RACSF, CAD will consider whether the means of secure transportation as proposed by the applicant adequately protects the screened cargo and is tamper-evident.

The following is a list of methodologies of secure transportation that are accepted in principle for serving these purposes. Accepted KCs, RAs or RACSFs and applicants of the KC Validation Scheme, Regulated Agent Regime, or RACSF Scheme can contact the supplier on list directly for enquiries. The following list would be updated whenever there are changes. Please check this page from time to time for updates.
