Customs legislation changes frequently and the customs authorities’ application of customs legislation is subject to individual interpretation. As a result, moving goods cross borders is becoming increasingly complex and can be costly and resource intensive. Furthermore, an increased focus on border security and import / export regulations can delay the supply chain of importing and exporting companies. More than ever it is important to have full visibility and control over your supply chain and fully understand the customs and trade compliance requirements of any cross border movements.
