THIRD-PARTY CARGO SCREENING CANINE CERTIFICATION [3PK9-C]
TSA created the Third-Party Canine-Cargo (3PK9-C) Program, under TSA's regulations for Certified Cargo Screening Programs (CSSP), see 49 CFR part 1549, to provide an efficient and effective method for screening air cargo to TSA's standards.
ExcetK9 has been authorized by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to conduct certification assessments of third-party canine teams who screen cargo on behalf of TSA’s regulated entities required to screen air cargo before it can be transported on aircraft. The authorization by TSA permits ExcetK9 to evaluate third-party canine teams in order to determine if the teams meet TSA’s stringent standards required to screen cargo transported by air. ExcetK9 received TSA authorization to conduct certifications in October, 2018.
Certified 3PK9-C teams can be deployed to screen air cargo for aircraft operators, foreign air carriers, and other TSA-regulated parties operating under a TSA-approved or accepted security program.
ExcetK9's mobile certification team has canine evaluators strategically located throughout the USA, ready to process as many as 25-50 dog teams per day.
