CUSTOMS EXPERIENCE: THE MORE, THE MERRIERBORDER TRANSFER IS THE MOST COMPLEX PIECE OF THE CROSS-BORDER PUZZLEWHAT TO EXPECT FROM EXPERIENCED PROVIDERS:
Paperwork filed correctly and on time to help prevent issues and resolve them quickly should they arise
The firm understanding that relationships and reputation matter with border agents—and help resolve issues faster
The e-manifest technology down cold
STRONG SECURITY TAKES YOU OFF THE
THREAT RADAR
SECURITY: WATCH AROUND THE CLOCK
Acquire and maintain hard-wired knowledge of requirements and planned regulatory changes
Join or work only with carriers who are members of recognized voluntary security associations (C-PTAT and PIP). Low-risk freight carriers clear customs faster
Know where to go and whom to talk with when difficulties arise
TRUCKLOAD SECURITY MEASURES
Use of only authorized and certified carriers
Use of only certified drivers
A well-maintained and dedicated fleet to reduce roadside maintenance and maintain the integrity of the load it carries
Use of safe roads and toll roads only
Adequate liability insurance per load
INSIST ON REAL-TIME VISIBILITY TO MAINTAIN LOAD INTEGRITY, LIMIT NEGATIVE BRAND EXPOSURE AND GIVE YOU PEACE OF MIND
INTERMODAL SECURITY MEASURES
CONSTANT MOTION REDUCES OPPORTUNITY FOR THEFT
BE ON GUARD AROUND THE YARD AND BEYOND
Use of authorized toll roads to and from ramps and origin/destination
Placement of containers in the bottom well of a double-stack train
Adequate liability insurance per load
IN CANADAChoose U.S.-based truckload carriers with a significant footprint
Assets on the ground save time and money in the end
IN MEXICOWhen choosing domestic assets, quality relationships rule
Find a partner who knows whom to trust and whom to avoid
