TSA-Compliant Air Cargo ScreeningCoordinated & Fast
We arrange screening through TSA-approved carriers and CCSP facilities, and tender your freight through licensed Indirect Air Carriers. Known Shipper applications, screening appointments, and documentation handled end to end — cargo typically cleared in 1-4 hours.
What is TSA Air Cargo Security?
After 9/11, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) implemented comprehensive security requirements for all cargo transported on passenger aircraft in the United States. These regulations ensure that every piece of cargo is screened for explosives and threats before being loaded onto planes carrying passengers.

What We Run Out of Valencia
Alvy runs one warehouse — 53,000 square feet in Valencia, California — and your inventory sits in it, racked or floor-stacked, handled by our own team. Nothing is scattered across a network of subcontracted sites you will never see. For shippers moving high-value goods, that is the whole argument: one building you can walk, one team you can hold accountable, and no third party in the middle.
