In March 2025, Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism enforced stricter regulations under the KS (Known Shipper) / RA (Regulated Agent) framework. Under these new rules, all non-KS cargo must undergo explosive detection screening on a per-carton basis.

Furthermore, the industry is transitioning away from traditional ETD (Explosive Trace Detection) surface swabbing toward internal X-ray inspection as the new standard. Operators who fall behind risk longer lead times due to inspection backlogs and rising operational costs.

Our team of airport security-certified staff conducts thorough X-ray inspections of cargo prior to aircraft loading — fully compliant with all applicable laws and regulations. Beyond the inspection itself, we also handle all ancillary tasks before and after — including sorting, transport, and cargo preparation — as a single, integrated service.

Reduce the time, cost, and complexity of managing multiple vendors. Let us help you navigate the new regulatory landscape smoothly.
