Customs clearance between outsourcing and insourcing

Más información sobre el libro

Outsourcing non-core activities is a common strategy among companies, particularly in logistics operations like transport and storage. However, customs clearance, often viewed merely as a logistical task, is fundamentally administrative and legal, with significant strategic implications for businesses. This oversight can lead to economic inefficiencies, as handling customs in-house may require less investment compared to the costly services of forwarding agents. The book highlights the importance of recognizing the broader impact of customs operations on overall business strategy.
