BONDED WAREHOUSE AND CARGO SCREENING SOLUTIONS
In August of 2007, President George W. Bush signed the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act 0f 2007 into law. Included in the legislation is the provision that 100% of all cargo transported on passenger aircraft be screened, with a three-year implementation timeline.
As of August 2010, Triple B Forwarders obtained certification from TSA to screen our customers’ air freight shipments through the Certified Cargo Screening Facility Program (CCSP) to operate as a CCSF at our Los Angeles and Honolulu locations.
Additionally, we offer flexible warehousing solutions including:
Cross-dock loading and unloading
Customer cargo storage
Palletizing
The National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) allocates a specific number to each product
that could be shipped. That is the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) that pairs to the
freight class best suited for the product. It’s important to include the NMFC number on the bill of
lading to reduce chances of reclassification.
When shipping goods, it’s always important to minimize movement. Pack crates or boxes as full
as possible, with heavier items on the bottom. If the crate is not filled, use packing material
to plug the empty spaces.
