The Definitive Guide to TSA Compliance and Secure Cargo Tracking

How Logistics Operators Can Ensure Compliance, Visibility, and Efficiency with GEGO Tracking Solutions

Why TSA Compliance Matters in Air Cargo Logistics

In global logistics, compliance and visibility are non-negotiable. Every shipment moving by air must meet strict TSA (Transportation Security Administration) and airline-specific regulations designed to protect cargo, passengers, and airport operations.

For freight forwarders, 3PLs, and supply chain managers, TSA compliance is not just about checking a box. It’s about:

  • Building trust with clients
  • Preventing costly delays
  • Maintaining operational licenses
  • Delivering shipment integrity across borders

What TSA Compliance Means in Practice

The TSA regulates what materials and devices are permitted on aircraft, especially when it comes to electronics, tracking devices, and lithium batteries.

Air cargo tracker approvals landscape: what shippers need to know

Violations can lead to:

  • Shipment holds or rejections
  • Fines or legal consequences
  • Airline bans or certification loss

To comply, all cargo tracking devices must adhere to federal and aviation safety standards from:

  • FAA (Federal Aviation Administration)
  • EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency)
  • IATA (International Air Transport Association)

Each cargo airline may also enforce its own approval process, requiring:

  • Verified battery safety and capacity
  • Low-power RF transmission and automatic flight mode
  • Approval documentation and technical sheets
