Here’s something for several of my blog visitors and subscribers – the CLECAT customs handbook on the various supply chain security initiatives, worldwide. CLECAT is a European association which represents the interests of some 20 national organisations of European freight related service providers. Notwithstanding the emergence of various international guidelines and standards in regard to supply chain security, the reality is that these standards must by default embody national and regional realities. This in itself creates an immediate departure from, exception to, or subset of the so-called ‘standard’. Nonetheless, it is always useful to understand these realities.
