Neele-Vat is a Regulated agent and is authorized to certify air cargo as secure. This means your shipment enters the secure air cargo chain without additional security screening at the airport. This saves time, reduces costs, and minimizes the risk of your flight departing without your cargo.
Air cargo that does not originate from the secure chain must still be screened at the airport. This costs time, money, and sometimes your flight reservation, as screening may require packages to be opened. Neele-Vat holds the status of Regulated agent, granted following an inspection of our facilities and procedures. This allows us to certify your cargo as secure ourselves and maintain the secure cargo chain. We also assist you in applying for “Known consignor” status. Our air freight team is based at Schiphol, with offices in Brussels and San Francisco and a global reach through the WCA network. As an IATA agent, we book directly with member airlines, and as an AEO-certified partner, we handle your customs clearance, ensuring your shipment moves smoothly through the process in one go.

Security checks are conducted at the point of origin, not just at the airport.
What the “Regulated agent” status means for your shipment
A Regulated agent may declare air cargo secure on its own, in accordance with established procedures and by trained personnel. Without that status, your shipment arrives as unsecured cargo and is subject to a security screening at the airport. At Neele-Vat , this security clearance takes place earlier in the process. Your cargo enters the supply chain as secure air freight and retains that status all the way to the cargo hold. If you are registered as a Known consignor, not every shipment needs to be screened.
