The European Union has introduced an amendment (EC 831/2006) to the existing regulation (EC 2320/2002) designed to improve the security arrangements for cargo to be carried by air. This regulation enables customers to register with air cargo carriers and regulated agents as “Account Consignors”.
FedEx, as an air carrier or regulated agent, will comply with all aspects of this regulation. We are therefore required to arrange for you to have the attached declaration signed by a person entitled to represent your company, or the person in charge of aviation security at your premises, so you can be designated as Account Consignor.
The attached National Instructions issued by the Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management, published on http://wetten.overheid.nl, explain the security requirements in more detail. Please pass them on to anyone else in your company who should be aware of this new EU shipping regulation. You also need to nominate one person within your company who will be responsible for the application and control of these instructions.
The benefit of being an Account Consignor is that all your shipments of cargo being carried on all-cargo aircrafts can be processed and handled more efficiently with regards to screening requirements. Not returning the completed form can result in transit time delays.
Please could you therefore complete and return the declaration form to us by fax on the following number 020-5005623 as soon as possible.
Once we receive your signed declaration, you will be designated as a FedEx “Account Consignor”.
Our Customer Service remains available for further information at the following number 0800 0222 333.
