Key Insight: "If you want hassle-free international transport, you need to make sure that you understand what it is that you need to complete and do that job, whether it's physical, on paperwork or it's digital in data formats." - Martin Palmer
3. Navigating the Compliance Landscape: The experts discuss the importance of data accuracy, the potential for holds and "do not load" instructions, and the need for freight forwarders to proactively prepare their shipment data to avoid disruptions.
Standout Quote: "If you get your act together with your data and your paperwork at the start of the process, it should be less scary, and the prediction for 2025 is more enforcement." - Martin Palmer
