TSA MANDATE FOR INCREASED CARGO SCREENING, DRIVES AGS' NEW SECURITY SURCHARGE PROGRAM - EFFECTIVE MAY 18, 2009.

On February 1, 2009 the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) implemented a new congressional mandate pertaining to security of air cargo on passenger aircraft.  The new mandate entails increased security procedures for cargo originating within the United States and its territories.

We want to assure you we have worked closely with our airline partners and with the TSA to comply with the new regulations.  Through joint investments in technology, training and new procedures made by AGS and our airline partners; we are pleased to advise you that we are meeting the new congressional mandate.

As a result of the new security procedures  the airlines are now applying security and  screening surcharges, this fee includes a per pound charge subject to a minimum.   It is AGS' intention to absorb the internal training, operational sorting and security management expenses that we are incurring, and to only pass through the airline surcharge of 6 cents a pound subject to a minimum charge of $ 6.00 per shipment.

This new security surcharge is effective Monday, May 18, 2009; it will apply on all Overnight, Second Day, Three Day shipments that move in air and expedited service.

We appreciate your understanding of the need to comply with these enhanced security procedures mandated by the U.S. Congress and the Transportation Security Administration.

For more information, please contact your AGS service representative or call our National Call Center at 800 645 8300.
