Already utilizing CHAMP’s Traxon Global Customs (TGC), for selected countries, Air Mauritius expanded to a worldwide contract, including the EU. Air cargo and mail shipments carried to or via EU Member States are required to comply with the new ICS2 regulation, as failure to do so could result in penalties or delays.

TGC can automatically provide the necessary Advance Customs Information quickly and easily, to reduce the risks of holds or fines. With continuous updates to its operations, including the ICS2 implementation, Air Mauritius will always remain ahead of the curve when new customs regulations are introduced, regardless of the country.
