As global supply chains face increasing scrutiny, businesses must navigate evolving regulations that impact trade, sustainability, and compliance. In a recent Inbound Logistics article, author Karen Kroll outlines key policies, including the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the U.S. Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), and upcoming changes to de minimis trade exemptions.
Alison Layfield, Director of Product Development at ePost Global, highlights the widespread impact of these regulatory changes:
“Governments’ enforcement efforts aim to close revenue gaps and ensure compliance. Canada’s 25% surtax on steel and aluminum products from China shows how even seemingly niche regulations can have a widespread impact on supply chains.”
She adds, “Companies that prioritize transparency, sustainability, and agility in their supply chains are better positioned to adapt to change, mitigate risks, and gain consumer trust.”
With regulations continuing to evolve, businesses must proactively integrate compliance strategies to maintain operational efficiency. Read more about these key regulations in the full article on Inbound Logistics.
