The Known Shipper Program is a security initiative managed by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to enhance air cargo security. It was initially established by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) before the events of 9/11.

As a TSA-approved known shipper, your cargo can be transported via both cargo-only and passenger aircraft. This provides more options, flexibility, and potential cost savings. Additionally, your cargo experiences faster processing times and fewer delays compared to non-approved shippers.

The TSA collaborates with Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) to verify business information. Companies need to register with D&B to obtain a DUNS number, which is a unique business identification number linking to critical company information.

A DUNS number is a unique business identification number provided by Dun & Bradstreet. It is essential for the verification process under the Known Shipper Program. You can obtain a DUNS number for free by contacting D&B at (844) 207-7043 or visiting their website at www.dnb.com. Note that expedited processing may incur a fee.

Ensure that your business information with Dun & Bradstreet is accurate and up-to-date. Any discrepancies or outdated information may lead to processing delays for your cargo.

DHL collaborates closely with the TSA to ensure efficient handling of customers' cargo shipments while adhering to all necessary security measures. This partnership helps maintain high service levels and compliance with air cargo security requirements.
