- Leveraging Technology Solutions: Advanced technologies, such as supply chain visibility platforms and AI-powered compliance tools, can help automate compliance checks, identify potential risks, and streamline processes.8
- Building Strong Relationships with Customs Authorities: Establishing positive relationships with customs authorities can facilitate smooth customs clearance and minimize the risk of delays and penalties.9
