Publisher's Synopsis
The events of 9/11 permanently changed the world of global trade. The supply chains of the world have been forever altered. Any person or corporation who imports, exports or transports goods and services within and to/from the United States has had to rethink how they manage the logistics, documentary concerns and regulatory maze. In the last three years a new vocabulary of words and acronyms has developed. AES, CSI, 24-Hour Manifest Rule, USPPI, The Patriot Act, ISP and ISA. to name but a few. Mitigating Risks in Foreign Supply Chains in the Age of Terrorism sorts out all the issues and frames a comprehensive strategy for the supply chain executive in successfully dealing with all the compliance and security changes, post 9/11. One of the most important benefits is that it instructs the reader on how to implement a compliance and security program. It is comprehensive, hands-on and full of quality advice and counsel.
