Foreign airlines have reacted sharply to the extraordinary change in the security of US customs rules for air transportation, https://logist.fm/ reports, citing The loadstar.
It is known that one of the carriers (Korean Air Lines) even suspended its services, explaining to customers that it first had to figure out what the Americans now demand from it.
Meanwhile, many sources have called the amendment to the rules introduced by the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) “extraordinary”. According to experts, this agency now requires carriers to provide additional information about shippers and consignees to the US Customs and Border Protection.
The rule came into effect on August 21, which came as a complete surprise to many market participants. At the same time, there are still no clear and understandable explanations as to why the rules were changed.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security only explained that all this happened after receiving “special classified intelligence” about the actions of terrorist organizations planning to exploit vulnerabilities in the work of U.S. customs.
