A CEIV trade lane is a general classification of any transport-related activities between two defined countries. A trade lane is CEIV Pharma, CEIV Live Animals, CEIV Fresh or CEIV Lithium Battery certified if the origin and destination is being linked by CEIV certified Transport companies (such as an airline, ground handler, Freight forwarder or a trucking company), throughout each stage of the journey from origin to destination (i.e. at no point is the shipment handled or transferred to a non-CEIV certified entity or a subcontracted entity not under the strict SLAs established under the CEIV certification process). It is also important to note that a company, such as an airline, is not CEIV certified for its network (including all online stations) unless all their stations went through the certification and/or Ground Service Providers have obtained CEIV Certification.
