Module 4: Compliance Data
Theme: "Enhancing Reactive and Proactive Compliance in Shipping & Trade"

Subscription: $250
Instructor: Sal Yazbeck, Ph.D. 
 


This module rounds out the course with a discussion on compliance in two key areas: cargo data, and trade data. On the first, we focus on the food safety aspect from the importer country perspective (a US example is provided), as well as on the Enterprise level, from a governance and business process viewpoint.

On the second area, trade data, the focus is on the export country side from a business transactions perspective.

A sea vessel operations viewpoint is further presented.

In terms of data flow, a distinction is made between when compliance data is presented on request (reactive), or when it is volunteered (proactive) as a necessary measure for business purposes.

On cargo data compliance, the focus is on food safety (perishable foods), and includes:
  • Reference to US Traceability Final Rule (TFR) of the Food Safety and Modernization Act (FSMA).
  • Example technology challenges in the enterprise - potentially impeding timely compliance.
  • Examples of how the tech industry and public/private partnerships (ie, Module 3) are playing a role to help enterprises in this compliance process.

On trade data (business transactions) compliance, the focus includes:
  • Reference to US Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) relative to inspection of agricultural imports.
  • Gov2Gov ephyto certificate exchange.
  • Reference to Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records (MLETR) relative to integration of electronic bill of lading (eBoL) with customs.
  • Example tech innovations and standards activities supporting compliance data process in trade.
Highlights are also noted on the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) compliance requirement for sea vessels towards reduction of greenhouse gas in shipping.
