Clarification of New Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) Requirement
by Autumn Banks, Regulations, Outreach, and Education Branch
The U .S . Census Bureau, Foreign Trade Division, recently
received several inquiries from the trade community regarding
the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) Indirect Air
Carrier Security Program Regulations . These regulations became
effective in February 2009 and govern requirements for indirect
air carriers, including the Known Shipper Program that prohibits
the release of flight details on cargo exported from the United
States via passenger aircraft . The requirements for the TSA
program do not impose any restrictions on providing
mandatory advanced information to the parties in
an export transaction who are responsible for the
Automated Export System (AES) submission as required
under Title 15, Part 30, Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR) .
Section 30 .6 of the FTR requires the AES submission and the
release of the proof of filing citation be delivered to the carrier
at least 2 hours prior to departure for shipments via air . For
more information on the Indirect Air Carrier Programs, please
contact the TSA at 571
