TSA Known Shipper application form
Before you can legally ship any freight via domestic US airlines your business must be approved as a ‘known shipper’ with the TSA. The reasons for this are entirely built around security. Learn more about the TSA here. The two steps required are outlined below:
1. TSA Approval as a ‘Known Shipper’ (please complete form beneath to begin the process). In turn, via our air agent, we will advise if your company/your supplier is already a known shipper or begin the application process on your behalf.
2. Smaller packages shipped with the airlines must be delivered to the airport cargo facility by a TSA-certified truck driver. This driver works for a company with correct legal certification and permissions required to enter and operate within a TSA-controlled airport or facility. The TSA certification permits drivers to enter TSA areas and transfer all approved freight from their vehicle to the aircraft.
Note: TSA-certified drivers typically aren’t needed for picking up freight at an airport as cargo has already been cleared.
Please complete the form below and we will let you know if we have additional questions. We will then advise if you are known, can be made known, declined or if additional information is needed.
