Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals, which handles cargo at Hong Kong International Airport, has been fully meeting the new Transportation Security Administration requirement that became mandatory on Dec. 12, to screen all air cargo from Hong Kong to the U.S. carried on passenger aircraft.
The TSA requirement only applies to passenger aircraft, which amounts to about 11 percent to 13 percent of all U.S.-bound cargo and only 25 percent of daily X-ray screening capability, said Mark Whitehead, Hactl’s managing director, in a written response to allegations that the airport would not be able to cope with the screening requirement.
