1 In accordance with TSA security requirements, United Airlines will accept packages from Known Shippers (commercial or private shippers qualified by TSA requirements) or "TSA-approved indirect air carriers" (Freight Forwarders, Integrators, Couriers or Consolidators with TSA certification). Known Shippers are entities who wish to tender their own goods for air transportation on a passenger air carrier and have gone through an approval process mandated by the TSA. If you are not a Known Shipper, by filling out the New Account Application, the process of becoming a Known Shipper with United Cargo will be started. During this process we will verify your information through the TSA database. If a site inspection is required there will be a non-refundable minimum fee of $75.00. This fee is mileage based and may be higher. When a site visit is necessary, recurrent site visits following the initial inspection will be necessary to remain on the Known Shipper list.

2 Some shipments, such as live animals, blood, tissue, animal semen, small packages, hazardous materials and human remains, have unique requirements and cannot be booked online. For more information, contact us.
