TSA Certified Cargo Screening Facility

In August 2010, the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) certified Pelco headquarters in Clovis, California, as a Certified Cargo Screening Facility (CCSF).

One of only 36 manufacturers in the U.S. who have successfully completed the stringent process, Pelco is now able to bring this mandatory inspection regimen in house, resulting in reduced costs and improved customer service.

Such actions have been taken in acknowledgement of and in preparation for new TSA requirements that went in effect on August 1, 2010, mandating that all domestic and international cargo being shipped aboard passenger flights be screened to ensure that any potentially dangerous substances, devices or materials are not present. Pelco’s voluntary participation in the program is a proactive step to guarantee that our customers continue to receive their orders in a timely and cost-effective manner.

Having undergone extensive employee training, facility inspections and having met building security requirements, Pelco is able to eliminate the additional costs associated with mandatory third-party screeners and at the same time, we are able to improve time-to-delivery to our customers by avoiding the inevitable bottlenecks that will occur at airport screening facilities.
