Welcome to Ep. 6 of SS1 , the essential podcast for professionals navigating the volatile world of international trade, supply chain management, and customs compliance.

​Are you tired of unexpected FCL delays, the headache of LCL volume changes, or the crippling costs of port congestion? We dive deep into the real-world problems that cost your business time and money.

​Each week, we dissect a critical logistics challenge and provide actionable solutions, covering topics like:

1. ​FCL & LCL Bottlenecks: Managing carrier unavailability, container rollovers, and mitigating damages to goods and packaging (box damage, volume changes).
2. ​Customs & Compliance: Decoding complex issues like Intense Custom Examination, CBP (USA) Holds, changing custom duties, mis-declaration of items, and documentation errors that lead to delays.
3. ​Hidden Costs: Understanding and planning for Big Port & Container Storage Charges, Last Free Day rules, and rescheduling costs for Air Cargo flights.
4. ​Risk Mitigation: The importance of Carrier Insurance, dealing with returns to the shipper, and avoiding losses due to lack of clarity on Vessel Unavailability.
