Trade Facilitation & Trade Compliance

- Trade Facilitation: responsibility of governments

The process simplifications, modernization and harmonization of

export and import processes. How can procedures and controls be improved to reduce associated business cost and burdens to maximize efficiency and at the same time safeguarding laws and regulation.

Companies comply with all laws and regulation of the countries that

goods are shipped to and with all internal company policies & logistic procedures. To reduce direct and indirect logistical cost.

Both: strong emphasis on simplification, harmonization, reduction of burdens and costs
