Australia has joined the US and Canada in adding stricter security requirements for cargo originating from European and CIS countries.
From September 26, the country will require that cargo being transported on passenger aircraft destined for the country should only be tendered from shippers with whom the forwarder has an Established Business Relationship (EBR).
The Special Security Direction was issued by the Department of Home Affairs and applies to a total of 55 countries (list below).
