Trade Risk Guaranty has compiled a list of four tips to help your supply chain management.<\/h3>\n

There are myriad motives for every importer to keep a close eye on supply chain management.\u00a0It is much easier to keep problems in check with a systematic and organized approach to the import process. Without being fully aware of the contents of the containers that are being brought into the country, how they\u2019re being brought in, and where from, an importer is doomed to experience issues.\u00a0 Whether luck would have it that these issues are small or large, the eventual and unfortunate necessity of dealing with them is a by-product of a loose operation.<\/p>\n

Major compliance missteps with government agencies like Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) can be extremely costly and are mostly avoidable. Cargo theft can also be kept in check with close attention to supply chain management.\u00a0A loosely-run operation can become victim to overcharge on a host of supply chain products and services wherever that looseness exists.\u00a0Storekeepers who keep a close eye on inventory and supply are less susceptible to shoplifting, overcharges from vendors, employee theft, and spoilage; the same goes for importers.<\/p>\n

Tips for Supply chain Management<\/h2>\n

At TRG, we want all our friends and clients to be immune to (or at least inoculated against) the effects of a poorly managed supply chain, so we put together a list.\u00a0Here are a few tips on keeping a well-managed supply chain:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Audit Your Paperwork!<\/strong>
    \nThis does not mean doing it eventually, or inconsistently.\u00a0 Make time to do it right away.\u00a0 If time is an issue, it is possible to hire third-party businesses who look over an importer\u2019s records and make sure everything matches up.\u00a0There are many ways to take care of this auditing process, but next to none are as efficient or as effective as rolling up shirtsleeves.<\/li>\n
  2. Stay Current with Compliance Guidelines<\/strong>
    \nNever fear; there are a host of excellent resources for anyone in the global trade arena to find accurate and timely information regarding the import process.\u00a0CBP offers a wealth of information<\/a> on their website for free.\u00a0 Making use of this goldmine of information is a\u00a0large step in the right direction.\u00a0There are organizations like our friends at the ICPA<\/a>, who are communities of experts and field operators dedicated to sharing knowledge about compliance.<\/li>\n
  3. Take Advantage of New Technologies<\/strong>
    \nThe world of import technology was very much paper-based for a long time, but times are changing.\u00a0 There are a number of tools available to assist importers in supply chain management that were not available in the past.\u00a0Automated Customs Environment, or (ACE) is the future of import operations and compliance.\u00a0     Learn more about ACE from CBP here<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  4. Adopt a General Attitude of Vigilance<\/strong>
    \nNo technology or third party can take the place of a hawk-eyed supply chain manager.\u00a0By keeping these general tips in mind and closely following the events and elements of their supply chain, an importer can significantly reduce their risk of running into big problems.\u00a0 For more detailed information, please take a moment to read a few more articles on TRG Peak, and explore the other resources that are available.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
