What are the benefits to participating in the CCSP?
• Facilities that have successfully been certified by TSA, Certified Cargo Screening Facilities (CCSFs) are able to perform piece-level cargo screening at the facility, prior to the cargo arriving at the air carrier. Participation in the program will allow CCSFs to screen cargo and build bulk configurations that, unless subject to random and risk-based screening later in the supply chain, will not be broken down at the indirect air carrier or air carrier. This capability allows the air cargo supply chain greater flexibility and capacity to perform cargo screening, while mitigating the impact of piece-level screening on cargo flow and throughput. As part of the certification process, applicants will be subject to a facility assessment performed by a TSA-approved Validation Firm. These firms are responsible for providing an assessment report to TSA on the manner and quality of the applicant’s adherence to CCSP security standards and requirements and the cost of the Validation Firms servi
