On June 5th and 6th, th annual executive council meeting of Federation of Asia Pacific Air-Cargo Associations (FAPAA) took place in Bangkok, Thailand. Cargo security became one of the main topics. Thailand is currently aiming to increase their supply chain security on all of their export products. Supply Chain Security should become a worldwide concern; and Thailand is now taking part in it.

A pilot program will take place, as government and customs authorities, along with the private sector want to come up with security procedures that aim to reduce cargo inspection of their exports to the country of destination and higher supply chain security standards for all cargo.

Thailand Customs and Border Patrol are currently adopting security measures to screen their cargo being exported to the U.S. Two of the methods being utilized are Container Security Initiative (CSI) and Customs-Trade Partnership against Terrorism (C-TPAT). Cargo must be inspected and scanned before being exported; just as well security measures must be complied by business partners involved for cargo going out of the U.S.
