Customs authorities the world over have a vital role to play in international trade. In different jurisdictions there will be concentration variously on imports and exports, and the responsibilities will represent a balance - amongst other things - between trade facilitation, controls and protections, and revenue collection. Constructive dialogue with authorities is generally a responsible approach.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has been reviewing the processes associated with the Convention for Safe Containers - are you ready for the changes?
On a particularly frosty morning when ice has seized a car door shut we would never consider using a crow bar. Conditions may be more extreme in container operations, but is it reasonable to use mechanical force to open or close container doors?
