The TSA in the USA have issued a directive, effective immediately, that all shipments destined or transiting via the United States must be tendered with a written declaration stating that the shipper has reviewed all available documentation and has determined that none of the cargo being offered for export has originated in, transferred from, or transited through any point in Somalia, Syria, Yemen or Egypt, as per the current embargo.
The following statement can either be shown on the Hawb or attached to the Hawb via a separate document and must be worded as below;
“Name Shipper/Agent” has reviewed all available documentation and has determined that none of the cargo being offered in this consignment or consolidation has originated in, transferred from, or transited through any point in Somalia, Syria, Yemen, or Egypt.
We regret to inform you that failure to show this information may result in your shipment being snagged by the Carrier and subsequently incur delays.
