Tradewinds Cargo earns CCSF Certificate

Tradewinds Cargo Handling’s cold-strorage cargo facility at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) has been approved by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) as a Certified Cargo Screening Facility (CCSF).

Certified Cargo Screening Facilities must carry out a TSA approved security program and adhere to strict chain of custody requirements. Cargo must be secured from the time it is screened until it is placed on passenger aircraft for shipment. With the cooperation of the entire air cargo community, the Certified Cargo Screening Program provides the framework for achieving 100 percent screening domestically.

Tradewinds recently underwent a strict approval audit and was found to be in compliance with all of the TSA requirements regarding this certification, including all security, screening and chain of custody mandates.

Tradewinds Cargo Handling, a subsidiary of Group One (www.grouponellc.com), operates the cold-storage air cargo facility at IAH.  Under Tradewinds’ management, the 61,484 square-foot refrigirated facility accepts perishable imports flown into Houston from international markets for distribution throughout the United States. The facility also acts as a holding facility for exported perishable goods leaving through IAH.
