HAULIER DECLARATION U.K.

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 300/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council(1) and its implementing acts,

When collecting, carrying, storing and delivering air cargo/mail to which security controls have been applied [on behalf of name of regulated agent/air carrier applying security controls for cargo or mail/known consignor/account consignor], I confirm that the following security procedures will be adhered to:

• All staff who transport this air cargo/mail will have received general security awareness training in accordance with point 11.2.7 of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1998;

• The integrity of all staff being recruited with access to this air cargo/mail will be verified. This verification shall include at least a check of the identity (if possible by photographic identity card, driving licence or passport) and a check of the curriculum vitae and/or provided references;

• Load compartments in vehicles will be sealed or locked. Curtain sided vehicles will be secured with TIR cords. The load areas of flatbed trucks will be kept under observation when air cargo is being transported;

• Immediately prior to loading, the load compartment will be searched and the integrity of this search maintained until loading is completed;

• Each driver will carry an identity card, passport, driving licence or other document, containing a photograph of the person, which has been issued or recognised by the national authorities;

• Drivers will not make unscheduled stops between collection and delivery. Where this is unavoidable, the driver will check the security of the load and the integrity of locks and/or seals on his return. If the driver discovers any evidence of interference, he will notify his supervisor and the air cargo/mail will not be delivered without notification at delivery;

• Transport will not be subcontracted to a third party, unless the third party:

  (a)

  has a haulier agreement with the regulated agent, known consignor or account consignor responsible for the transport [same name as above]; or

  (b)

  is approved or certified by the appropriate authority; or

  (c)

  has a haulier agreement with the undersigned haulier requiring that the third party will not subcontract further and implements the security procedures contained in this declaration. The undersigned haulier retains full responsibility for the entire transport on behalf of the regulated agent, known consignor or account consignor; and

• No other services (e.g. storage) will be sub-contracted to any other party other than a regulated agent or an entity that has been certified or approved and listed for the provision of these services by the appropriate authority.

I accept full responsibility for this declaration.
