ABSTRACT
The events of 9/11 in the United States changed how governments regulate import and export trade. Every country in the world was impacted differently, but all have developed greater control over goods passing through their borders. The United States leads most compliance initiatives. Supply chain executives located anywhere on the planet must pay attention to all of these regulatory changes to successfully navigate all the complexities now being initiated to reduce cost and risk. As a result of 9/11, we will look at many of the trade compliance issues facing companies that sell to or buy from the United Sates, which is greatly seen as the entity leading the charge to raise the bar on trade compliance management all over the globe.
