Research the impact of global shipping and receiving at ports around the world since September 11, 2001. What policy has been added to this field? What laws have been changed? Describe best practices in global shipping and receiving at ports in your own words, supported by your research online
9/11 attacks changed the global shipping as the shipping logistics became the concern of national security. The U.S Customs and Border Protection introduced ‘Container Security Initiatives’ having several set of policies which allows screening of cargos. Post 9/11 there was a policy introduced that make suppliers to provide cargo manifest electronically 24 hours prior to loading containerized cargo onto a US bound vessel under the 10+2 Rule (Huynh, 2015).
Under 24-hour rule, U.S. border security extended their reach beyond traditional borders. The rule if not followed, provides security agencies to issue “do not load” message.
The best practice would be of investing in pre-inspection rather than screening and inspecting after the goods are imported. It will increase the overhead cost of packing again. While receiving, the company delegate shall be present, instead of a third party. It increases the accountability and safety factor. Technology and innovation will help further in receiving and screening the goods at ports.
