IATA Standard Procedures for Preloading Advance Cargo Information (PLACI), 6th edition
PLACI provides additional air cargo supply chain security by enabling an initial risk assessment of the cargo being carried prior to the aircraft’s loading at the last point of departure.
IATA’s Pre-Loading Advance Cargo Information Guidelines encapsulates and furthers the international standards set in the World Customs Organization SAFE Framework of Standards through improved procedural harmonization and the inclusion of such additional elements as transmission protocols.
The benefits:
- Alignment with regulatory requirements, such as US Air Cargo Advance Screening (ACAS), Canada Pre-Load Air Cargo Targeting (PACT), and EU Pre-Departure Information for Cargo Targeting (PREDICT), as well as future other PLACI initiatives worldwide.
- Avoiding non-compliance issues with regulators and supply chain partners that could result in substantial penalties and severe delays in shipment times.
- Having harmonized and standardized PLACI procedures in one user-friendly document.
Relying on IATA’s Pre-Loading Advance Cargo Information Guidelines will assist:
- Airlines by enhancing customer service through improved efficiency and shipment timings as well as by providing a single PLACI reference point for multiple regulatory regimes and supply chain partners.
- Freight Forwarders by providing a means to deal with a multifaceted, multilayered air cargo supply chain in a consistent manner and, also, by clarifying PLACI-related rules and processes.
- Customs Authorities by promoting the mutual recognition of procedures and by facilitating training based on industry-agreed standards.
- Ground Handlers by establishing their responsibilities and obligations with well-documented procedures and by allowing them to better manage their resources based on advance information.
- IT and Security by encouraging the promotion of standards to keep the air cargo supply chain secure and by providing a user-friendly way to assess existing initiatives and plan future upgrades.
