Peru exports more than $ 100 million in perishable products by air to the United States, reaching 50.000 metric tons (MT) said today Chairman of the Committee of the Agro Exporters Association (Adex), Carlos Lozada.
reported that the August 3 went into effect a rule requiring U.S. scanning, in the place of origin and under the CCSP certification (Certified Cargo Screening Program), 100 percent of cargo by air in passenger aircraft.
noted that all Peruvian exports on passenger aircraft should undergo this procedure, which must also be validated by the U.S. government through an agreement with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
said that the measures implemented by the U.S. government got their start in the attack on the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001.
Since then, the United States lavished on such measures, setting increasingly stringent controls for passenger and cargo revenue, which are starting to be mandatory, he added.
noted that since the rule took effect, all products that enter the territory of the United States on passenger aircraft and cargo entering not covered with TSA certification must be verified.
also must be reviewed and handled in destination inspection will be scheduled with any burden, not only by Peruvian arrives without being scanned at the point of origin.
Therefore, Lozada urged the authorities to take necessary measures to comply with the requirements of Peru's main trading partner.
also asked to facilitate the installation of a scanner at the international airport Jorge Chavez, the same should be supervised by Customs to ensure the security and control of the load to the output of ships. (Andina)
