Document, document, document. It’s an old refrain, but one that remains true today in the world of global shipping.
Lisa Nemer, vice president of finance & operations at Shipping Solutions, joins Rosemary Coates, executive director of the Reshoring Institute, on the latest episode of the Frictionless Supply Chain Podcast to discuss the requirements and preparation of documents required to ship internationally and to comply with the export regulations of the United States. It is not a trivial task and is one that requires skill, training, and software to assist in fulfilling all the requirements for exporting from the U.S. and importing into other countries.
Dropping the ball in any area could mean your goods get stuck at the border.
