    Who is a Known Shipper?

    A Known Shipper, particularly in air freight, refers to an individual or organization that has been pre-screened and approved by a carrier or government agency as being a low-risk shipment source.

    The known shipper designation allows the individual or organization to ship goods without additional security screenings on passenger and cargo planes.

    Please note that you don’t need to be a Known Shipper to book through our platform.
