When working across international borders, it’s vital that communication is clear among all parties. This can be a particular challenge where industry-specific jargon or technical phrases are in use. It’s also vital to be aware of cultural significance – for example, if you are shipping internationally, you should be aware of which key holidays or festivals could impact your delivery.
Whistl’s network of reliable international carrier partners is well-equipped to handle any potential concerns, offering their unmatched local expertise. See how we help a prominent photobook company handle inbound email in both English and 10 additional languages.
Every country has different border regulations and customs requirements; you must ensure your business complies with these regulations. If you are unsure or not confident about your shipping destination’s requirements, it’s worth seeking professional advice to avoid falling foul of the law.
Avoid any penalties or issues at the border with Whistl’s cross-borders team, who can lend you their extensive experience in seamlessly navigating international customs and documentation.
Similarly, different countries will place restrictions or limitations on certain types of goods being imported or exported. These are subject to change if the law in that country does, so it’s important that you remain aware of any updates.
Whistl keeps up to date with local restricted items legislation, and we can provide you with advice prior to shipping any potentially restricted goods.
A wide swathe of current affairs can affect international logistics, directly or indirectly. In the last few years, we have seen a global pandemic, international conflict, economic crises and extreme weather events, all of which can impact cross-border transit and shipping.
