Our U.S. Government Services Team will provide a comprehensive overview of essential factors to consider when drafting and executing government contracts. We will discuss various aspects that can significantly impact the successful delivery of cargo.

The topics covered include:

• Incoterms
• Cargo Preference
• Transportation Requirements
• U.S. Flag Vessels vs. Non-U.S. Country Vessels
• Prohibited Cargo
• Dangerous Goods (DG)
• Point of Contact (POC)
• Country Specific Import Requirements
• Consignee's Receiving Requirements
• Freight Date/Time and Cost

Participants will gain a better understanding of key considerations involved in shipping under U.S. government contracts to make more informed decisions when fulfilling such agreements.

Supply chain leaders seek more visibility, control, and the power to make proactive decisions as the market remains volatile. Expeditors aim to support customers in this effort by enhancing visibility through order management.

This webinar will discuss how harnessing visibility at the PO level can support a more robust supply chain. We'll also talk about the variety of ways you can gain control of this practice through headcount, software, or partner support via a freight forwarder.

E-commerce packages have been taking up valuable freight space and driving up rates on outbound Asia routes over the past few years. These volumes are often consistently high without seasonal drops that would otherwise be observed in other forms of freight, injecting substantial uncertainty. In this webinar, we explore how likely the drivers of this surge are to endure. Instead of forecasting rate movements, we look at structural factors like US and EU de-minimis policy and changes to the supply chain strategy of Chinese e-commerce firms that affect the medium to long-term trajectory of e-commerce movements out of Asia. The estimated length of the webinar will be 45 minutes, including Q&A time.
