OPERATION / SYSTEM - UPDATE NOTICE

Greetings to all our valuable sister agents.
We wish that our partnership with you will grow further and advance operation
and business.
As of July / 2007, UTS is determined to make some
important operational changes. Until now,
UTS-Seoul has taken care
of our customers directly. However, UTS determined that our sister agents
in Korea should take care them because UTS has developed a long and good
relationship with customers.
Our customers now need more specialized care due to the unique task for each
customer.
UTS-Seoul will be now focusing on different
tasks like agent-agent relationship, follow-up tasks
of UTS-USA-Head quarter, and etc. So, from now on UTS sister agents in Korea
will take care of UTS
shipments coming to Korea.
We, UTS, greatly appreciate your continuous
relationship and support. With new and updated
operational changes, we look forward to have better and advanced service for
both our customers and
fellow sister agents.
Any difficulties or questions on this new and
updated operational changes please e-mail to
whichever department you need to contact.

Increase in Fuel Surcharge to USD 0.50/kg
Fuel surcharge adjustment effective
April 6th, 2007
For Korean Air Cargo Customer:
This letter is to formally announce that effective
April 6th,
2007,
Korean Air will adjust their
fuel-surcharge
to US Dollars
$0.50
per
kilogram. Unfortunately, jet fuel prices have steadily
increased over the
past
two
weeks reaching levels above acceptable limits triggering the
necessity of
this charge. The additional operating costs associated with jet fuel
prices
causes a detrimental effect on our ability to provide the services
required. As you know, fuel
represents the single largest variable cost to
the airline industry.
We sincerely appreciate your cooperation,
understanding and support during this critical time.
We will continue to
closely monitor jet fuel prices and will suspend this fuel surcharge when
fuel
prices stabilize to normal levels.
Guidelines for AWB issuance on or after April 6th, 2007
*
Fuel surcharge of US$
0.50
per kilogram (Canada CAD0.57
per kilogram) will be applied to all
KE AWB’s issued from IATA Area 1 based
on chargeable weight, including minimum charge shipments.
*
Add fuel surcharge code “FS” and the
applicable amount in the “Other Charges” field of the AWB.
In addition,
add the fuel surcharge amount along with “Total Other Charges Due Carrier”
in the
“Collect” or “Prepaid” box of the AWB. (Collect or Prepaid will be
determined by the party that is
responsible for weight charges).
Please do not hesitate to contact your sales or
account representative should you have any questions
regarding this
matter. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

AS YOU
WELL KNOW, THERE WILL BE POSSIBLE SHIPBACK TO

AUTHORITY
IF YOUR
PACKAGING DO
NOT MEET THEIR
REQUIREMENT.
PLEASE PREPARE
ACCORDINGLY
FOR

UNITED TRANSPORT SERVICE IS HERE TO MEET YOUR TRANSPORTATION NEEDS AND
PROVIDE YOU OUR BEST SERVICE. LET US KNOW HOW WE CAN BEST SERVE YOU.
BEST REGARDS,
UTS OPERATION TEAM
ISPM 15 Solid Wood Packaging Update (January 2005)
Countries with
implementation changes since last update (October 29, 2004):
Brazil
Brazil is planning to implement ISPM 15 in September 2005.
Colombia
Colombia changed their implementation date from December 31, 2004 to September
15, 2005.
European Union (EU)
The European Commission (EC) issued a directive that all 25 EU nations will be
implementing. In the directive, regulated WPM shall be made from debarked round
wood and subject to heat treatment or methyl bromide fumigation and marked
accordingly with the ISPM 15 mark. Dunnage must be made from bark-free round
wood, free from pests and signs of live pests, and ISPM 15-compliant.
The United States is contesting these requirements. They were discussed in the
ISPM-15 working group when the standard was being developed and rejected on the
basis of having no technical justification for quarantine pests. The EC is
meeting on January 20 to make a final resolution on this matter. The
international arm of the U.S. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
will be at that meeting. It is their intention to listen to any legitimate
scientific evidence; if the EC fails to present conclusive technical reasons for
introducing these requirements, APHIS will insist the EC adhere to the ISPM-15
agreement.
Regarding implementation date(s), EU will require ISPM-15 compliance on new WPM
starting March 1, 2005. WPM already in circulation or in storage is not required
to be treated and marked until Dec. 21, 2007.
North America
The United States, Canada and Mexico will strictly enforce ISPM 15 starting
September 16, 2005. Until then, it is recommended to use ISPM 15-compliant wood
packaging going to North America. There is an exemption agreement between the US
and Canada.
Taiwan
Taiwan's new regulation only applies to lumber and other wood products and does
not include wood packaging.
Turkey
Turkey has changed its implementation date from January 1, 2005 to January 1,
2006. Similar to the EU, Turkey’s import requirements for regulated WPM requires
debarking.
Current info for other countries that have begun implementation process:
Australia
The Australian Quarantine Inspection Service (AQIS) announced its amended import
requirements for solid wood packaging; those requirements took effect September
1, 2004.
ISPM 15-compliant wood packaging is acceptable for shipment to Australia under
the following conditions:
• Heat treated at 56°C for at least 30 min OR fumigated with methyl bromide and
marked with the ISPM 15 stamp
• Bark-free
• Include a packing declaration (Note: declaration for ISPM 15-compliant solid
wood packaging must be submitted per consignment; an annual declaration is not
acceptable). The NWPCA website has a sample declaration; members will find it in
the section: Resource Center, Legislation/Regulations, Australia.
The following are no longer needed for wood packaging to be compliant under ISPM
15 in Australia:
• Treatment certificate (provided that the packing declaration indicates ISPM-15
compliance)
• Satisfy the 21-day requirement (no more time limit between treatment and
packing)
If wood packaging is not marked as ISPM 15-compliant:
• The 21-day rule for non-permanent treatment methods (e.g. heat sterilization,
fumigation) does apply, and
• A treatment certificate AND packing declaration are required.
Canada
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has set April 1, 2005, as its target
date for strict enforcement of ISPM-15. Non-compliant wood packaging will be
rejected and the cost involved is the responsibility of the shipper. All
countries must comply and only the U.S. has been granted an exemption.
Chile
Chile’s Agriculture and Livestock Service has introduced import requirements for
WPM based on ISPM 15. Their proposed date of implementation is June 1, 2005.
China
The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIS)
has not decided when it will implement their new regulation for imported solid
wood packaging. In discussions with APHIS, they indicated there would be an
advance notice for implementation and a phase-in period. For now heat treatment
with certification through APHIS is the only recognized method for softwood;
hardwood is exempt but still requires certification (we recommend use of the
NC-US voluntary mark).
Costa Rica
Costa Rica’s Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock has notified WTO of its
intent to adopt ISPM 15 in their regulations for imported WPM. Implementation
date was January 1, 2005.
India
India's implementation date for ISPM-15 was November 1, 2004. India's Ministry
of Agriculture made it clear that a phytosanitary certificate is not required as
long as the wood packaging is ISPM-15 treated and marked.
Korea
The Korean National Plant Quarantine Service has
published its rule adopting ISPM 15. They intend for their regulation to go into
effect June 1, 2005. At this time, they will only accept heat treatment for
coniferous wood; hardwood can be fumigated or heat treated.
Mexico
Secretaria de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturale’s (SEMARNAT) released its final
rule on import and export WPM. The rule states that imported WPM must be ISPM
15-compliant starting July 1, 2005 however, it was presented during the recent
North American Plant Protection Organization (NAPPO) meeting that it will be
enforced in September 2005.
Nigeria
Nigeria Plant Quarantine Service is now enforcing their import requirements for
imported WPM. Nigeria will accept the ISPM 15 mark in lieu of the phytosanitary
certificate as stated in their regulation which took effect September 30, 2004.
Philippines
The Philippines' Department of Agriculture has changed their implementation date
for ISPM 15. It was scheduled to be partially enforced (must be treated but
marking is not required) as of January 1, 2005. Full implementation starts on
June 1, 2005.
South Africa
The RSA Department of Agriculture began implementing ISPM 15 on January 1, 2005.
Switzerland
According to the Swiss Shippers’ Council, Switzerland is delaying enforcement of
ISPM 15 until March 1, 2005 to coincide with implementation of EU nations.
United States
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) released its final rule
“Importation of wood packaging material.” Starting September 16, 2005, all
imported WPM except those coming from Canada must be treated and marked
according to ISPM 15. Non-compliant WPM will be re-exported, treatment at the
port of entry will not be an option. In some cases compliant WPM with signs of
pests may be fumigated at the port.
APHIS will use risk
management techniques and statistical sampling for inspection targets. Shipment
from countries with high levels of interception will face more inspection
whereas, highly compliant importers will be subject to fewer inspection. (Note:
The United States regulations control imports into America. They do not have
authority over export wood packaging. For exports, be sure to be guided by the
rules of the
destination country.)
New Zealand
New Zealand has fully implemented and is enforcing ISPM 15.

Fuel surcharge adjustment effective April 1st, 2005
Dear Valued Air Cargo Customer:
This letter is to formally announce that effective April. 1st,
2005, Korean Air will
adjust current fuel-surcharge of US Dollars $0.30 per kilogram to US Dollars
$0.35 per kilogram.
Unfortunately, jet fuel prices have steadily increased over the
past three weeks
reaching levels above acceptable limits triggering the necessity of this
charge.
The additional operating costs associated with jet fuel prices causes a
detrimental
effect on our ability to provide the services required. As you
know, fuel represents
the single largest variable cost to the airline industry.
We sincerely appreciate your cooperation, understanding and
support during this
critical time.
Guidelines for AWB issuance on or after April 1st, 2005
Fuel surcharge of US$ 0.35 per
kg ($0.16 per LB)
will be applied to all
UTS EXP.
AWB’s issued from IATA Area 1 based on chargeable
weight, including minimum
charge
shipments.
Add fuel surcharge code “FS” and the applicable amount
in the “Other Charges” field
of the AWB.
In addition, add the fuel surcharge amount
along with “Total Other Charges
Due Carrier” in the
“Collect” or “Prepaid” box of the AWB. (Collect or Prepaid
will
be determined by the party
that is responsible for weight charges).

RE : Service Advisory In Midwest due to Weather;Possible railroad/truck delays
Based on the current and projected weather conditions across Midwest and Western U.S. along with the current congestion on the TBML at Tacoma due to the opening of EMC's new terminal, is it highly advisable to return cargo to the origin ramp as early as possible to minimize the probability of shipments missing its intended vessel.
BNSF :
Winter Weather Delays Severe winter weather conditions bringing
extreme cold temperatures, snow and ice across a broad swath of the United
States are adversely affecting rail traffic at various points on the BNSF
system. Sub-zero temperatures across the northern tier states from Minnesota to
Montana, ice accumulations in excess of one inch in Kansas City, and snowfall up
to one foot from Lincoln, Nebraska to Chicago, Illinois, are contributing to
delays. All rail terminals and Intermodal Hub facilities in these regions remain
open and operational, and conditions are expected to improve through the end of
the week. Customers may experience delays up to 24 hours on traffic in the
affected areas.
AS YOU
WELL KNOW, THERE WILL BE POSSIBLE DELAY IN TRANSIT TO THE PORT DUE TO
SEVERE WEATHER CONDITION.
WE
WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON THE CURRENT STATUS OF THIS.

Subject: DELAYS DUE TO SEVERE WINTER CONDITIONS
Dear Valued Customer,
We regret to advise that due to brutal winter conditions in
Western Canada, including an avalanche on the
CP Rail main line on January 30th
has severely impacted CP Rail operations. Delays in rail transit of 48-72
hours to all points in Eastern Canada and U.S. Midwest are to be expected.
Delays to CPR operation as well as to the other railways in
Canada and United States has had a ripple effect
creating a rail car shortage in
the Vancouver area and congestion at the Marine Terminals.
CPR and CP Ships regrets delays to your shipment due to these
weather conditions. Additional resources
such as locomotives and rail cars are
being routed to Vancouver in a structured manner so as to avoid further
congestion at the rail terminals. With these efforts and improving weather
conditions we are hopeful that the
delays will be short lived.
CP Rail has also placed a temporary embargo on the acceptance or
the movement of Reefer traffic moving
through this corridor until some of the
backlog can be cleared. We expect to this restriction to be extremely short.
We
anticipate the movement of reefer traffic to resume later this week
Should you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

GOOD NEWS - West
Coast Labor Talks
<<<
WE ARE GETTING CLOSE >>>
Reading below information is some good
news. Hopefully they can finalize
an
agreement over the next several days or very soon hopefully.
I am sure we all would
like to get back to normal business flow soon.
Usually once a tentative agreement is
reached the ILWU usually has to go to their rank and file and get a vote on the
agreement.
However under this Taft Hartley Act, I am not sure if any procedure is changed
on this
voting method.
Regardless, in the past once the ILWU has reached a agreement, the vote
then takes place and was usually in favor by their Rank and File. (I don't think
they would
reject it since it is so favorable to them). Just keeping you all
updated. Pls.
note below and
have a good weekend.

INDUSTRY
ALERT
VIA CNS FAX BROADCAST
Attn: All Air Freight (export/import) Sales Managers and Staff
Dear
Korean Air Cargo Customer:
This
letter is to formally announce that effective April 22nd, 2002 Korean Air
will implement a fuel-surcharge
of US Dollars $0.05 per
kilogram($0.025/LB).
Unfortunately, jet fuel prices have steadily increased over the
past five
weeks reaching levels above acceptable limits triggering the necessity of
this charge.
The additional
operating costs associated with jet fuel prices cause a
detrimental effect on our ability to provide the services
required.
As you know, fuel represents the single largest variable cost to the
airline industry.
We
sincerely appreciate your cooperation, understanding and support during
this critical time. We will continue
to closely monitor jet fuel prices
and will suspend this fuel surcharge when fuel prices stabilize to normal
levels.
Please
do not hesitate to contact your sales or account representative should you
have any questions regarding
this matter.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

notice !
*****************************************************
World Trade Center towers collapse in attack
Air, surface transportation
closed
therefore, all Air Cargo handling by UTS
will be delayed.
CNN: No one had an estimate of the
crashes' human toll. "I don't even want to contemplate what the
number will be," Guiliani said. Mary Margaret Walker, a
spokeswoman for the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, said the agency
"dispatched search and rescue units and will begin a structural
search" in the attacks' aftermath. The
Federal Aviation Administration closed all airports in the United
States
just before 10 a.m. and routed international flights bound for New York to
Canada. Giuliani and
New York Gov. George Pataki canceled Tuesday's scheduled primary. Police
closed all bridges and
tunnels.Thousands of somber New Yorkers, turned
away from the subways, walked the streets. The
public transportation system resumed service about 3 p.m.
Built on six acres of landfill, the World Trade Center complex includes
seven high-rise buildings,
a shopping mall and a daycare center. The two
largest buildings, the twin towers, collapsed. The
complex also includes a 47-story high-rise building, a 22-story structure,
two nine-story buildings and
an eight-story facility. Its complex is also a hub for a commuter rail
station.
All Air cargo shipment from/to U.S. would be

Korean Air Joins Air France and Delta Air Lines in
Cargo Joint Venture
Korean Air joins Air France and Delta Air
Lines as a founding member of a
cargo
joint venture, to be launched
later this year. The three carriers also are founding
members of the SkyTeam Cargo alliance with Aeroméxico and CSA Czech Airlines.
This new venture will offer customers the
benefits of a combined sales force,
centralized reservation and service
center, a comprehensive route network and
a common product line.
The joint venture will be based in
Atlanta with regional offices in Atlanta, New York,
Chicago and Los
Angeles, and will be managed and staffed by experienced cargo
employees of
all three carriers. The company will be equally owned by Air France,
Delta Air Lines and Korean Air, and governed by a joint Board of
Directors. The venture
will provide career opportunities to cargo
employees in the areas of sales and sales support.
We expect that the combined freighter
capabilities of Korean Air and Air France, along
with the lower deck lift
provided by Delta Air Lines, give this cargo joint venture a wide
range of
strategic options as well as marketing abilities.

UTS
HAS ALREADY RESERVED A OFFICE WITH GIANT EXPRESS, KOREA
- UTS News
Air freight first opportunity FedEx, UPS consider adding capacity
SEOUL, South Korea -- Last-minute work is
underway in Incheon, South Korea, where officials are
scheduled to inagurate the country's first 24-hour airport Thursday.
President Kim Dae-Jung is slated to open
the $5.5 billion facility, which expects its first commercial
flights on
March 29.
Seoul's Incheon Airport was built in time
for the 2002 soccer World Cup, taking over as one of the country's
gateways for international flights from the existing Gimpo Airport.
While authorities expect much from their
new airport, analysts believe the facility's biggest impact will be on
trade.
It remains to be seen whether Incheon takes off as a passenger hub.
"All the major airports that we've
seen open around the world have been a disaster," said Peter Negline,
regional airline analyst with J.P. Morgan in Hong Kong.
With international traffic set to transfer overnight from Gimpo, Negline and others say a lot can go wrong.
Incheon is 32 miles (52 kilometers) from
downtown Seoul, or equivalent to an hour and a half's drive in traffic.
That distance, as well as any repeat of the problems when airports opened
in Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur,
may mean Incheon gets off to a slow start.
Critics expect the new facility to be hit
with similar teething problems as Hong Kong's Chek Lap Kok airport
and
Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Sepang, Malaysia, both of which
opened in 1998.
Baggage systems may not be ready. A recent
test reportedly backfired. The ground transportation is unwieldy,
critics
say, with roads not ready to use. A rail line won't be ready until 2005.
Korean airport officials admitted Wednesday
there were bound to be glitches. But they said Incheon's staff of
30,000
is ready to fix them.
The airport expects 27 million passengers
to fly through Incheon each year. That's 10 million more than Gimpo's
capacity. Gimpo had a curfew barring nighttime flights, from 11 p.m. to 6
a.m., unlike Incheon.
But infrastructure problems and the
airport's proximity to Seoul may mean it takes a while for Incheon Airport
to
catch on with passengers.
"I'm sure it will be bright and shiny
and new, and all those things Gimpo isn't," said Timothy Ross, head
of regional
transport research with UBS Warburg. "But if you're
having to overnight somewhere and the choice is Seoul and
Hong Kong, or
even Taipei, it's a no-brainer."
But industry observers believe Incheon will
be popular with shippers, because it offers a good alternative to Japan's
overloaded airports in Tokyo and Osaka.
"The most profound impact Incheon will
have at first is on freight," Ross said. "Cargo doesn't matter
how many
times it's offloaded."
The airport expects freight volume to grow
47 percent, to 2.5 million metric tons, from what was shipped through
Gimpo. Aside from Japan, Incheon also hopes to steal business from Hong
Kong and Shanghai.
Prospects are good for that business to catch on immediately.
"Seoul itself, or Korea, is very
neatly positioned geographically to access the polar route from the U.S.
and Europe,
" said Peter Harbison, managing director of the Centre for
Asia Pacific Aviation.
Incheon can ship well to and from China,
which is underserved by capacity at its airports, and even as far as
Southeast Asia.
"It's very well placed to pick up all that traffic," Harbison said.
But Japan offers the biggest opportunity.
Flights at Tokyo's Narita International Airport are at capacity --
"slot constrained," in industry terms. Osaka is the same at peak
times.
That means shippers can't get in. It is
also 50 percent to 60 percent cheaper to land and operate airplanes at
Incheon, compared with Japan's airports.
Korean Air, the second-largest
international cargo carrier after Lufthansa, will dominate flights out of
Incheon.
It will have 338 flights a week to the airport, a third of the
total, from 48 airlines.
Incheon airport could also get an added
boost from U.S. courier Federal Express, which is thinking about
adding
capacity in Korea.
FedEx, the world's largest air shipper
thanks mainly to U.S. traffic, will have 13 flights a week to Incheon.
Its
operations there will be able to handle twice the capacity that it
processed at the old Seoul airport.
"We'll certainly begin looking at our
operations in the north Pacific," said David Cunningham, president of
Federal Express Asia Pacific. He said other carriers would follow suit.
"You have to look to places like Korea."
FedEx won't move its hub from Subic Bay in
the Philippines. All its packages into and out of Asia head there
first,
but it could use Korea as a transfer station, adding extra capacity there
instead of in Japan, Cunningham said.
The company is considering serving not just
Korea but also nearby north Asian countries such as Japan out
of Incheon
because Korea has the geography, lower costs and the infrastructure,
Cunningham said.
Another U.S. courier, United Parcel Service
will also boost capacity by as much as 50 percent more capcacity
at
Incheon.
"That gives us a lot more room to
expand in the future," said Steven Chang, director of industrial
engineering
for greater China.
He said a UPS team is looking to add to
operations at Incheon, though UPS is not yet adding more flights.
Being
able to operate at night gives UPS the flexibility to route extra flights
there, he said.
The airport hopes to draw more business
like that. According to Korean government estimates, the airport will
pump
$537 billion, or 696 trillion won, into the Korean economy through 2010.
That's an average of $30 billion a year
since construction started in 1992. An international business complex is
expected to open in phases, starting in 2003. It will ultimately include
six office buildings, two hotels and a shopping mall.
From the initial 30,000 at the airport, the Korean government expects the knock-on effect to lead to 255,000 jobs in 2010.
But Asia's economic slowdown isn't likely
to help Incheon get off the ground. South Korea's economy ended the
year
2000 on a bad note and is likely already in recession.
The country's technology-heavy industrial
base also means it is bearing the brunt of a slump in the U.S, so Incheon
is likely to see a slow start.
With the exception of routes to Japan, its
capacity is not necessary now, Harbison said. And now it's up to the
airport, literally, to deliver.
"The big issue is how competitive it
can be with other hubs," he said. "As long as the services are
well-placed,
it should work."
