[F1PART 2 U.K. Organisation and responsibilities of the third country EU aviation security validated regulated agent
Objective: No air cargo or air mail shall be carried to the EU or EEA without being subject to security controls. Cargo and mail delivered by an RA3 to an ACC3 or another RA3 may only be accepted as secure cargo or mail if such security controls are applied by the RA3. Details of such controls are provided in the following Parts of this checklist.
The RA3 shall have procedures in place to ensure that appropriate security controls are applied to all EU or EEA bound air cargo and air mail and that secure cargo or mail is protected until being transferred to an ACC3 or another RA3. Security controls shall consist of one of the following:
physical screening which shall be of a standard sufficient to reasonably ensure that no prohibited articles are concealed in the consignment;
other security controls, part of a supply chain security process, that reasonably ensure that no prohibited articles are concealed in the consignment and which have been applied by another RA3, KC3 or AC3 designated by the RA3.
