In determining if your company should participate directly in the CCSP, some key factors need to be considered.  Among these are:

• Do I ship a significant volume of my freight via air, and is it carried on passenger aircraft? (PAX)
• Will my shipments be compromised if opened?
• Do your volumes justify in-house screening?
  

If your company currently participates in cargo security programs like C-TPAT and TAPA FSR or ISO 9000 quality programs, the move to in-house screening and CCSP participation may be relatively quick and painless.  CSA can help you make these decisions.
