TIACA praises WCO move

The International Air Cargo Association (TIACA) has praised the World Customs Organization's (WCO) decision to work toward reducing paperwork in the industry.

WCO also will discuss digital signatures and end-to-end management of electronic documents with other international organizations.

"We work in a world where international air consignments, managed by global traders through fine-tuned automated business technologies and moving on modern aircraft controlled and tracked by state-of-the-art communications systems are still subject to completely anachronistic paper-based checks on millions of import transactions annually," said TIACA secretary general Daniel Fernandez.
