Legislation on Cargo
Needless to say that the strict and prompt legislation was undertaken by the US Government on this issue and a programme entitled CSI (Container Security Initiative) is designed for enhanced security for the cargo being shipped to the United States of America.
Similarly, Europe is very much serious to promulgate such laws to ensure every security for cargo deliveries. Hence, the UK and Pakistan too, are very much cautious to have secured cargo deliveries.

But with the increase in the cargo business, the airports of the UK are suffering from the lack of desired facilities.
Now withdrawal of the UK from the Brexit would have a surely great impact on the freight industry. How could this happen? This is quite clear that now in the new economic arena, new agreements would be made and also there would be a major effect on the UK freight Industry when changes are made in custom rules and Air Services Agreements (ASAs).
Sure enough, the carriage of products like the machinery of power generation and engines of aircraft carry a major impact on import as well as export value. This will no doubt reflect the supply chain and export value having a high share.
