Increased checks on cargo - Should a new charge be created?

2016 willsee the introduction of  UCC - AEO   as well as the new Weight Verification system soon to be in  operation and this will require the agent/carrier to have a robust  system of due diligence in operatoin as part of their procedures. We are all aware that non compliance of these regulations  may result in a criminal prosecution and perhaps it is time for the industy to make a small charge to traders for this service.  These checked are often time consuming and expensive espeically if the purpose is   to reduce fraud and terrorismn which is sadly with us and perhaps even increasing.

We would be interested to hear your views?
