Introduction
With Class A certification by TAPA (the Transported Asset Protection Association) on December 16, 2003 of its Narita Terminal, KWE became the first Japanese freight forwarding company that satisfied the required conditions (FSR) for security management of cargo.
The KWE Group, following on from the initial certification of its Hong Kong terminal in December 2001, now has 18 terminals with Class A certification.
TAPA Certified Terminals
| Region | Certified Terminals |
|---|---|
| Asia | Japan (2 terminals), Hong Kong (4 terminals), Shanghai (2 terminals), Taiwan (2 terminals), Manila, Seoul (2 terminals), Singapore (2 terminals), Penang, Kuala Lumpur |

In response to increasing demands by our clients, particularly those involved in high-tech industries, to guarantee and manage cargo security, after the renovation and extension works for the Narita Terminal were completed in November 2002, KWE improved its security facilities and related procedures and as a result in December 2003, following a TAPA audit, was able to receive Class A certification, being the highest security certification issued by TAPA. Subsequently in January 2006 KWE's No.4 Baraki Terminal also received Class A certification.
