one of a series of written communications that teaches us all the "skill sets" we need to manage our business responsibilities and provides thoughtful insight into post 9/11 security and compliance management concerns Mastering Import & Export Management fills an important void in the informa tion required to succeed in the field of global supply chain management Neither prior to nor since September 11, 2011 has a book covered all the old and new supply chain import/export management issues and offered an array of costeffective options in bringing competitive advantage and reducing global risks In my role as the New York District Export Council's Chairman, I have the opportunity to work with many professionals in global trade Tom ahs great knowledge of current issues in importing and exporting He brings a comprehen sive and articulate message to this book I can speak first hand, as a colleague, and friend of Tom—this is a "m ust" read book and a "key" addition to every supply chain manager's library Spencer Ross P residen t National Institute for World Trade New York, New York ix Preface Mastering Import & Export Management is a timely publication as companies scramble to maintain open import and export supply chains with an everincreasing level of government scrutiny and compliance and security changes Corporate America is redeploying its personnel, resources, and infrastructure to manage supply chains that have greater foreign purchases and expanding global markets Executives engaged in importing and exporting are being tested daily with challenges requiring new and enhanced skill sets These new challenges include: cost-effective logistics; better inventory management; more skilled vendor ser vices; compliance and security management; and a changing political, economic, and regulatory climate in a global environment Corporations are recognizing that in order to be competitive in world trade, a company must reduce its cost of logistics This book provides information on how to lower costs in shipping, inventory management, import/export order process ing, and manpower, and how to avoid fines and penalties This book outlines all the historical legacy issues of world trade and interfaces the new world order, post 9/11 Today's supply chain managers must confront the movement of goods and services timely, safely, and cost-effectively But that alone is not enough They must incorporate import/export supply chain strategies that include post-9/11 compliance and security regulations that are both new and evolving This means that corporate America must initiate a vigil to keep current and be flexible enough to implement revisions A key trait of successful global supply chains will be the ability to modify and change import/export logistics, communications, suppliers, vendors, and all interface parties The book makes an excellent argument that developing resources, managing change, and affecting short-term supply chain strategies is an integral foundation for importers and exporters While some concepts and methodologies of the past have validity, the truly successful and competitive company engaged in imports and exports will in tan dem bring a whole new skill set to the "deal" that will have safe, secure, and compliant supply lines in their global make-up Mastering Import & Export Management is a compendium for the serious import and export supply chain manager to develop internal standard operating proce dures to ensure that their global supply chains stay open, operate cost-effectively, and adhere to all the old and new regulations facing importers and exporters Global trade requires numerous skill sets of the corporate executive in manag ing their import/export supply chains This book provides the "ultimate guide" to managing these skill sets, developing tactical resources, and planning execu tion strategies to conquer all the obstacles xi Major Issues in Global Supply Chain Management Today The book opens with a view of current world events that impact global supply chains, import and export operations, and the entire responsibilities that business executives have in trade compliance management 2011 and into 2012 have seen a number of shifts in world politics, Middle East stability, and major physical occurrences that have huge short-term impacts on global trade, and these impacts may extend into the future for years to come Overview P hysical Events The earthquake in Japan has rocked the world in a number of ways Perhaps most important, the long-term utilization of nuclear power is very much in jeopardy The impact of the devastating tsunami that followed goes far beyond the tragic loss of life that occurred The insurance community who insured the risks involved with both events will have to pay hundreds of million in claims, poten tially in excess of several billion dollars This will impact insurance costs and the availability of certain types of insurances in risk-prone centers of the globe as well as for freight that moves on certain trade lanes Cost and availability will become major issues Personnel involved in international shipping and logistics who had freight coming in and out of Japan are witnessing great delays in transit times, limited access to transportation infrastructure, and increases in freight charges Shipping managers worldwide have looked at this disaster in Japan and have already begun to access risk management alternatives not only in earthquakeprone areas, but in all corners of the globe where there are significant physical risks such as but not limited to: • • • • • • Earthquakes Floods Tornadoes Hurricanes Harsh changes from winter to summer weather patterns Tsunamis Mastering Import & Export Management, Second Edition These are but a few of the major physical exposures that companies who oper ate globally are now assessing, and they are reevaluating their supply chain deci sions to avoid exposure and mitigate risk Econom ic Events As of this writing, most professional assessments and benchmarks in world trade have shown a betterment in most market segments in the overall economy Most manufacturing, inventory, and trade indexes have shown increases of to per cent in 2011 into 2012 While most sectors have shown improvement, there is still serious concern over the following areas: • • • • Stability of global banking and financial infrastructure Housing and unemployment in the United States Political instability in the Middle East Financial issues in an array of countries, such as but not limited to Greece, Poland, Brazil, Venezuela, and the United States • The rise in government bailouts and increase in debt worldwide All of this impacts global supply chains It impacts cost, risk, and choice of global sourcing and offshore manufacturing, and it potentially retards the growth of globalization A good example of this in the United States is shown by the number of compa nies who had sent manufacturing overseas to Asia and the Near East but have moved some or all of it back here to America or to Mexico or Canada (referred to as "near-shoring") Near-shoring makes a huge statement to the world It says that from a competi tive standpoint there may be better places to locate operations than Asia and the Near East (primarily India and Pakistan)—reversing a major trend of the past thirty years In logistics, these economic woes have reduced capacity in the ocean freight market, causing pricing instability and difficulties in locating available containers and chassis for timely, reliable, and consistent bookings Companies relying on the ocean freight mode to fulfill a time-sensitive supply chain have been hugely disappointed in 2011 and have had to make major com promises in risk, cost, and choice of carriers P olitical In stability The events in the Middle East— in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, and Bahrain to name a few—have rocked the traditional world of dictatorship and kingdoms in terms of historic attitudes in the Muslim community in that part of the globe The West, led by the United States, has taken a fairly aggressive role in support ing the move to democratic governments, including militaiy action There are costs to supporting these uprisings that add to the economic turmoil, tied into the instability which has caused the price of crude oil to climb in excess of $100.00 US This will impact every aspect of the supply chain cost models, from manufac turing, to plastics, freight, and security surcharges due to gasoline increases Major Issues in Global Supply Chain Management Today The threat of an increase in terrorism promised from the more radical corners of that circle will place additional stresses on security and oil costs Many security analysts also see the West's proactive engagement in these Mus lim democratic turnovers as another reason for terrorists to mount more aggres sive and frequent attacks, which will include exposure for global supply chains The continued presence of the United States and its allies in Iraq and Afghani stan has also increased political stress among the West and the Muslim countries These stresses impact politics—here and in those countries—which in turn impact the decision-making process as to where and how to ship, source, deliver, and partner These issues increase risk and cost A irfreight: TSA/Transportation Security A dm inistration and Hazardous M aterials 100 percent cargo screening, not just for Americans anymore! The screening rules of 2010-2012 affected all air cargo destined for a passenger aircraft originating in the United States or being shipped from overseas to the United States The TSA was charged with this daunting task While the shipping community doubted the TSA would be able to accomplish the 100 percent screen ing rule by the initial 2010 deadlines, the TSA proved us wrong They have accom plished this task and have done it without too many hiccups in the process This process is still a work-in-process and is being tweaked and modified as we enter 2012 The fear and overall concern were mainly twofold: the issue of higher costs and the issue of serious delays in the movement of air cargo While there has been a cost increase due to the additional layer of security that has been imposed, it has not been dramatic Nor have the anticipated delays been as serious as we first thought they would be The program seems to be a success so far As the air freight community just began to breathe easy again, here comes another directive All foreign origin inbound air cargo must be screened at 100 percent This issue of screening foreign air cargo is not a new development The primary goal of the US government was to enact the rule for screening of cargo that originates in the United States, and then to ultimately include foreign origin air freight, with a deadline of Y2013 for such foreign origin freight movement Then it happened! While we were focused heavily on cargo originating in America that was booked to fly aboard a passenger aircraft, terrorists were focus ing on freight originating in a foreign country that was intended to fly on an all cargo aircraft UPS and FedEx both recently discovered explosive devices in cargo shipments that were ultimately addressed to a synagogue in Chicago Fortu nately, these devices were found prior to the final flight to the United States Packages with explosives were found in Dubai and in the United Kingdom The Prime Minister of England stated that it appears the device they discovered was intended to go off in midair, en route to the United States The publicity, hype, and exposure of the 100-percent passenger air cargo screening rule was a clear indicator to terrorists that there is a big black hole in the screening program: foreign-origin air cargo coming into our country is not subjected to rigorous screening While U.S Customs and Border Protection con trols the security of inbound cargo through the C-TPAT program (Customs Trade A ppendix N o v e m b e r, 2012 USA Pavilion at 2012 Taipei International Travel Fair - Travel and Tourism Industries Location/D ate: Taipei, Taiwan 11/1/2012 - 11/30/2012 Contacts: Wendy Tien, Taipei Commercial Specialist Phone: 886-2-2720-1550 ext 324 Wendy.Tien@trade.gov N o v em b e r, 2012 U S Community College Fair in Thailand - 2012 •• L ocation/D ate: Chiang M ai, Thailand Bangkok Thailand 11/3/2012 - 11/3/2012 11/4/2012 - 11 /4/20 J2 Hat Y Thailand ] 1/ /2 12 - 11/6/2 12 Contacts: Nalin Phupoksakul, Bangkok Senior Commercial Specialist Phone: 662-205-5275 Nalin Phupoksaku]@trade gov N o v em b e r, 2012 World Travel Market —Travel and Tourism Industries Location/D ate: London, United K ingdom 11/5/2012 -1 /S/2012 Contacts: Danny Dumon, Brussels Commercial Specialist Phone:+32-2-811-5476 DannyJ3umon@trade.gov Stewart Gough London Commercial Specialist Phone: +44 (0) 20 7894 0459 Stewart.Gough@trade.gov November ,2012 Industrial Fabrics Association International, IFAI, 2012 multiple industry sectors L ocation/D ate: Boston M A , United States 11/7/2012- 11/9/2012 C ontacts: Amanda Ayvaz, Trade Event Programs International Trade Specialist Phone: 202-482-0338 Amanda Ayvaz@ trade.gov This International B uyer P ro g ram will be led by T odd L indem ann, Vice President of Conference Management Phone: N o v e m b e r, 2012 Showcase USA-Jtaly 2012 -■ Travel and Tourism Industries L ocation/D ate: TBD Italy, Italy C ontacts: Simonetta Busnelli Milan Commercial Specialist Phone: Direct +39-02-62688505 or Main +39-02-6268851 Simonetta3usnelli@ trade.gov 11/8/2012 - 11/9/2012 661 662 Appendix N ovem ber , 2012 U Ü Power-gen Technology Showcase at APPrO 2012 Conference and Trade Show • multiple industry sectors L ocation/D ate: Toronto, Canada 11/ 12/ 0)2 - 11/ 14/2012 Contacts: Stefan Popescu, Toronto Commercial Specialist Phone: 416 /5 -5 * 223 StefanPopescu@ trade.gov N ovem ber , 2012 Electronica 2012 ■■ Electronic Components Location/D ate: Munich, Germany 11/ 13/ 2 - 11/ 16/ 20)2 Contacts: Dagmar Winkler-Helmdach Munich Commercial Specialist Phone: 49-89-2888-769 Dagmar.WinkJer-Helmdach@trade.gov Moritz Holst, Munich Commercial Assistant Phone: 49-89-2888-754 Moritzi4o3st@trade.gov Sabine Kallup, Munich International Trade Fairs GACC Phone:646-437-1012 skallup@munich-lradefairs.com N o v em b e r, 2012 Eurotier/BioEnergy Decentra) 2012 —multiple industry sectors Location/D ate: Hanover, Germany 11/ 13/ 2 - 11/ 16/2012 Contacts: Andrea Stahl, Frankfurt Commercial Specialist Phone: 49-69-7535-3157 A ndrea5tahl@ trade.gov Bettina Capurro, Munich Commercial Specialist Phone: 49-89-288-8751 Bettina.Capurro@trade.gov N ovem ber ,2012 The 9th China lnt'1 Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition - multiple industry sectors Location/D ate: Zhuhai, China 1)/l S/2012 - 11/18/2012 C ontacts: Lena Yang, Guangzhou Senior Commercial Specialist Phpne: 86-20 8667-4011 ext.612 Lena.Yang@trade.gov ' N o v em b e r, 2012 MED1CA 2012 —multiple industry sectors Location/D ate: Contacts: James Sullivan, Seoul Senior Commercial Officer Phone: 82-2-397-4535 Jim Sullivan® trade gov Yoon Shil Chay, Seoul Senior Commercial Specialist Phone: 82-2-397-4439 YoonShil.Chay@trade.gov Düsseldorf Germany 11/14/2012- 11/17/2012 Appendix N ovem ber ,2012 MEDICA 2012: USDOC Business Center Showcase Globa] and Exhibitor Outreach Event multiple industry sectors L ocation/D ate: Düsseldorf, Germany 11/14/2012- 11/17/2012 Contacts: Amelia K ooistra,North Texas international Trade Specialist Phone: 817-310-3744 Amel ia.Goeppinger@urflde.gov Anette Salama, Düsseldorf Senior Commercial Specialist Phone: 49-211-737-767-60 Anette.Salama@trade.gov Nils R o t her, Düsseldorf Commercial Specialist Phone: 49 211 737 767 20 Nils J?
