Pre-loading Advance Cargo Information (PLACI)

PLACI is an additional layer of a multi-layered approach to aviation security. It is the term used to describe a specific 7+1 data set as defined in the WCO SAFE Framework of Standards (SAFE FoS) that is drawn from consignment data and provided to regulators by freight forwarders, air carriers, postal operators, integrators, regulated agents, or other entities as soon as possible prior to loading of cargo on an aircraft at the last point of departure. Regulators (analysts and/or targeters) can use PLACI to perform an assessment of the potential aviation security risk (such as IED/IID) represented by the consignment.
