FIATA seeks your feedback to provide best level of member support
Share your expectations of the Annual Report!
FIATA is committed to enhancing its services and resources to better meet the needs of its members. For this reason, it would like to know its members' expectations of one of its key publications, the Annual Report!
By filling out the below survey, members can help to ensure that FIATA meets their expectations and bring them the most relevant information each year.
Take part in the FIATA Annual Report survey here!
Are you ready for the upcoming air cargo updates on ICS2 Release II and III Multiple Filing?
In the same vein as above, to gather valued FIATA member feedback, FIATA has prepared a survey to understand its members' readiness to comply with ICS2 reporting requirements, which are applicable for goods entering/transiting the EU.
FIATA is conducting the survey in collaboration with the European freight forwarding association (CLECAT), in preparation of the upcoming Trans-European Coordination meeting on the European Union’s Import Control System 2 (ICS2). The survey focuses on the actual use of the multiple filing options* for air freight under ICS2 Release II, and how/if freight forwarders are preparing for ICS2 Release III implementation for road and rail. This will allow for a better understanding of the industry’s needs and any support necessary to aid implementation.
Please note that in case you have already provided your feedback via CLECAT's survey, there is no need to duplicate your answer by taking this FIATA-hosted survey.
Kindly complete and circulate this survey to your members, so that FIATA can support the industry effectively in the implementation of ICS2 Release II and III. Please submit your responses to the survey by 1 February COB.
*A multiple filing means that an ENS is composed of two or more partial ENS filings (i.e. two or more prescribed data sets), which together form an ENS declaration.

2023 'Year in Review' - Highlights of the FIT Alliance's work last year
In early 2022, FIATA co-founded the FIT Alliance with BIMCO, DCSA, the ICC and Swift, with the purpose of ensuring interoperability of digital data standards and systems across the logistics industry. In this group, FIATA:
- defends the interests of freight forwarders in the ever-changing digital trade landscape;
- ensures that it creates value for its members through the work of the group, and;
- helps them to become digital freight forwarders.
The 'Year in Review' highlights key achievements of the group collectively and individually, and highlights areas in which it is changing the digital landscape of the industry through close collaboration with other key digital supply chain stakeholders.
While you're here, to learn more about the FIATA Digital FBL and becoming a digital freight forwarder, statistics on which will be shared in the coming weeks, click here!
