The TSA has issued directives to the air carriers regarding certain restrictions placed on individual pieces of freight that are 68Kg/150LBS and over and are large enough to hold a human being. These restrictions are given to the carriers in a manner that is considered SSI (Sensitive Security Information). The carriers cannot give us the specific details, and to date the TSA themselves has not given any additional guidance to the forwarding community.
Effective immediately any freight tendered to Genesis Forwarding Services that fits the above description, must be held together on all 4 sides with metal or unbreakable plastic bands. If the freight is not received ready for carriage as described, we will be restricted in how we can move your shipment.
If your cargo must be handled in a manner whereby banding is required Genesis Forwarding Services will do so but this could cause delays or additional charges.
Please note this TSA requirement is not only for shipments that are delivered to carriers here in the
The new TSA requirements state that your shipments will be subject to inspection, and by tendering your cargo to Genesis Forwarding Services you are thereby consenting to any inspection deemed necessary.
Genesis Forwarding Services is temporarily suspending the requirement to verify and record the Identity of the individual tendering freight. Please note that this should not be considered a permanent change and we reserve the right to refine and better define the process in the future after receiving clarification on this requirement from the TSA.
All air cargo shipments are still subject to inspection.
Genesis Forwarding Services will continue to serve your international shipping needs to the best of our ability and will ensure your shipments reached their destination safely and swiftly without any delay.Thank you for your time and continued support of Genesis Forwarding Services.

Europe’s emphatic victory in the 2006 Ryder Cup brought some extra joy to some Genesis Forwarding Services employees around the world. The outcome of a £10,000 prize was in the balance in a competition where staff were asked to predict the results of several sporting events.
Alison Cavanagh, credit controller at the International freight forwarder, predicted more correct results than any of her colleagues in the UK. Her victory in the competition was only assured after the last event; the Ryder Cup. Alison was understandably overjoyed, “It was a very exciting finish and obviously I’m absolutely delighted with the result”. There were also substantial cash prizes for the winners in the USA and Asia. Brian Johnson, the manager of the company's New York office won the US competiition. Magic Lai, airport customs supervisor based in Taipei was victorious in the competition for staff based in Asia.
The competition was organized to celebrate the company’s twentieth anniversary. There were three separate competitions for staff in the Far East, the
Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of the company, Doug Currie commented, “The competition was a tremendous success, everyone in the company joined in the spirit of the occasion. The prizes were significant and representative of the value that the Directors of Genesis place on the contributions made by our staff.” Mr Currie added, “Events such as these separate the Genesis culture and management style from that of our competitors.”
