When minutes matter, cargo screening, K9 services, and CCSF (Certified Cargo Screening Facilities) certification work together to keep shipments safe without killing your schedule. At Global CFS, we screen upstream under TSA-approved procedures, maintain a strict chain of custody, and deploy the right blend of technology and explosives detection canines for dense, odd-shaped, or palletized freight. The result is fewer surprises at airline acceptance and smoother moves from dock to uplift.

What you get with Global CFS

• CCSF screening upstream: TSA-aligned methods (imaging/trace + K9) applied before the airport to avoid bottlenecks.
   
• Certified K9 teams: Rapid, effective screening for complex loads, mixed cartons, and shrink-wrapped pallets.
   
• Documented custody: Seals, secure areas, and auditable handoffs through tender.
   
• Operational fit: Screening options sized to your commodity mix, volumes, and cutoffs.
   

Why CCSF + K9 is a brilliant combo

• Speed: K9 teams cover large volumes quickly; tech handles targeted exceptions.
   
• Coverage: Multiple screening options reduce rework and repack.
   
• Confidence: A clean, documented hand-off means fewer last-minute delays.
   

Simple checklist for shippers

• Confirm CCSF status and accepted screening methods.
   
• Ask about K9 availability for your cargo profile.
   
• Align on custody and seal protocols to protect the chain of custody.
   
• Set proactive comms for exceptions and airline cutoffs.

“Upstream screening isn’t a cost—it’s schedule insurance. Pair CCSF protocols with certified K9 teams and you trade bottlenecks for certainty.”

—Steve Panzarella, President, Global CFS
