DIMERCO SINGAPORE BAGS TWO CERTIFICATIONS FOR CARGO SAFETY
February 24, 2023
Dimerco Singapore announced that it earned two important certifications for safety and efficiency in handling customer consignments.
In a statement, Dimerco Singapore said it was recently certified with the Good Distribution Practice for Medical Devices (GDPMDS) and Secure Trade Partnership (STP) for their best practices in handling customers' sensitive cargos between Singapore and other countries.
"GDPMDS shows that Dimerco Singapore is qualified to handle medical devices such as In-Vitro Diagnostic Equipment and Software (IVD) by protecting them against contamination and ensuring the quality and integrity of the cargo during every point of the transit," the 3PL company said.
Dimerco Singapore is also certified with the highest level of security – STP-Plus (Premium Brand) under the TradeFIRST assessment and the Regulated Air Cargo Agent Regime.

It said that this certification demonstrates Dimerco's robust capabilities in security and visibility of goods, which reduce the risk of cargo theft and ensure efficient and safe supply chain management for all customers.
The STP-Plus certification in Dimerco Singapore is equivalent to the AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) certification, which Dimerco holds across China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, Germany and the Netherlands.
Dimerco noted that it also certified in North America's AEO programs, which are called– CTPAT for the USA and PIP for Canada.
"Qualifying for STP-Plus and being designated as the consignor under the Regulated Air Cargo Agent Regime means that Dimerco is seen as a low-risk operator. Cargos handled by Dimerco are less likely to be required for a local inspection which expedites customs clearance," said Dimerco' s Central Service Center (CSC).
"STP-Plus also aligns with Dimerco customers' security arrangements and validation processes through Singapore's 10 Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) partners – Australia, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and United States," it added.
Dimerco noted that the certifications come as it remains committed to becoming a leader in providing global logistics supply chain services.
