July 16 (UPI) -- In a continued crackdown on Mexico's drug cartels, the Treasury Department announced Tuesday it placed sanctions on four Mexican companies and three Mexican nationals allegedly tied to fraudulent timeshare activity used against American citizens and linked to the notorious Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion.

"Cartel fraudsters run sophisticated teams of professionals who seem perfectly normal on paper or on the phone -- but in reality, they're money launderers expertly trained in scamming U.S. citizens," Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian E. Nelson said Tuesday in a news release.

The department's office of Foreign Assets Control alleges the four Mexican companies and three Mexican civilian accountants were directly or indirectly tied to timeshare fraud lead by the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion, or styled in English as the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

The criminal organization operates call centers in Mexico with scammers impersonating U.S.-based third-party timeshare brokers, attorneys or sales representatives, the U.S. government contends.

And about 6,000 U.S. citizens reported losing nearly $300 million from 2019 to 2023 via Mexican timeshare fraud crimes by targeting American timeshare owners often in various or complex ways in years-long schemes, according to the FBI, adding that totals what they can track legally as unreported crimes keep on.

Treasury points at four companies in Mexico: Constructora Sandgris, Pacific Axis Real Estate, Realty & Maintenance BJ and Bona Fide Consultores, which the department claims were the front companies doing business on behalf of those linked to Mexican drug cartel.

Nelson says unsolicited calls and emails may look legitimate but actually are made by cartel-backed criminals.

The Treasury claims the thee Puerto Vallarta-based accountants -- Griselda Margarita Arredondo, Xeyda Del Refugio Foubert and Emiliano Sanchez -- had family ties to individuals already cartel-linked and had allegedly aided in fraudulent activities to steal from U.S. citizens.

"If something seems too good to be true, it probably is," Nelson said.

The scam begins when a timeshare owner receives an offer to purchase their property, according to an attorney.

"They call you up and tell you that they have a buyer for your timeshare," Michael Finn of Florida's Finn Law Group, told ABC News. "They will send you documents that look real and tell you that you need to pay taxes before you can get your payment."

The Treasury Department and its partners are taking steps to deploy all available tools "to disrupt this nefarious activity, which funds things like deadly drug trafficking and human smuggling," said Nelson.

Five years ago in 2018 Treasury sanctioned two men it claimed laundered money and ran an international prostitution ring for the cartel.

The transnational CJNG, a violent Jalisco, Mexico-based organized crime syndicate, is known to traffic the large part of illicit fentanyl and other deadly drugs which typically enter via the southern U.S. border, having gone so far as to threaten Mexican journalists it views as giving the CJNG "unfair" news coverage.

And it uses illegal proceeds, like from its timeshare fraud schemes, to diversify its already-illicit revenue streams in order to keep financing other criminal activities, including the manufacturing and trafficking of fentanyl and other synthetic drugs, according to the federal government's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.

Police seizure of illicit fentanyl pills have skyrocketed in recent years, a new study found. And pills represented 49% of illicit fentanyl seizures in 2023, compared to 10% in 2017.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection in April launched "Operation Plaza Strike" as an offensive targeting Mexican drug cartels to disrupt the flow of fentanyl and ingredients used to make the synthetic opioid that has become a leading death of young Americans.

However, this is not the first time the CJNG has been accused by the U.S. of similar crimes. Last year in March, the Biden Treasury placed similar sanction on eight other Mexican companies it alleged had took part in a similar timeshare fraud scheme on behalf of the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generation.

Even at the time a Treasury official pointed to how in select Mexican tourist destinations the CJNG had already become by that point "heavily engaged" in timeshare fraud in places like Puerto Vallarta where it had gained a strategic foothold.

Last year, the U.S. claimed the accused cartel-backed companies had extracted money from victims by making unsolicited offers to buy their timeshares, and when victims accepted offers, Mexican scammers requested fictitious fees and taxes under the pretense they would facilitate the sale and give reimbursed money after closing.

Biden Opposes Bill That Would Keep Cops and Feds From Buying Your Data

The Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act would prevent law enforcement and intelligence agencies from purchasing data that they would otherwise need a warrant to obtain.

A bipartisan group of lawmakers is once again trying to keep the government from performing an end run around the Fourth Amendment by buying people's personal data. This week, President Joe Biden indicated that he opposed the bill. H.R. 4639, known as the Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act, "expands prohibited disclosures of stored electronic communications" to include purchases of data by law enforcement and intelligence agencies. First introduced in 2021 by Sens. Ron Wyden (D–Ore.), Rand Paul (R–Ky.), Patrick Leahy (D–Vt.), and Mike Lee (R–Utah), the bill has been reintroduced in subsequent sessions. The current version was introduced in the House by Rep. Warren Davidson (R–Ohio) and in the Senate by Wyden and Paul. On Wednesday, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D–N.Y.), ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee and one of the House bill's cosponsors, affirmed his support on the House floor. "That anyone should have Americans' private information is highly troubling to me," Nadler said. "But that our federal government can obtain it without a warrant should be troubling to all of us." On Tuesday, the White House announced that the Biden administration "strongly opposes" the bill. According to a Statement of Administration Policy, the bill "generally would prohibit the Intelligence Community and law enforcement from obtaining certain commercially available information—subject only to narrow, unworkable exceptions." The Stored Communications Act forbids technology companies from disclosing certain subscriber information, including to the government. But certain types of data—including search histories, credit reports, employment records, and cellphone geolocation data—is "commercially available" and can be sold by third parties called data brokers. Often this data is purchased by private companies in order to better tailor their ad spending. Governments typically need a warrant to access any of that type of information—as recently as 2018, the Supreme Court affirmed in Carpenter v. United States that the government cannot access a person's cellphone location data without a warrant. "Although such records are generated for commercial purposes," wrote Chief Justice John Roberts, that alone did not "negate" the plaintiff's expectation of privacy. "We decline to grant the state unrestricted access to a wireless carrier's database of physical location information." Put simply: Come back with a warrant. But instead of honoring that decision, law enforcement and intelligence agencies just started buying the information from data brokers instead: The National Security Agency (NSA) buys people's internet metadata, and agencies within the Department of Homeland Security—including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP)—purchase cellphone location data. Even agencies without an explicit law enforcement mandate have gotten in on the fun: In one example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) paid $420,000 for cellphone data in order to monitor compliance with COVID-19 lockdown measures. The Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act would ban these transactions. Regarding customer and subscriber records obtained without a warrant, the bill "prohibits law enforcement agencies and intelligence agencies from obtaining the records or information from a third party in exchange for anything of value (e.g., purchasing them)." It further prohibits other government agencies from sharing that information and prevents the records from being used in "any trial, hearing, or proceeding." Again, this should not be controversial: The Fourth Amendment requires law enforcement to get a warrant based upon "probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation," before searching one's "persons, houses, papers, and effects."

On July 5th 1530, Scottish folk hero Johnnie Armstrong of Gilnockie was captured and hanged at Caerlanrig chapel.

This was an atrocious betrayal by the Stewart monarch James V, not just because Armstrong was lured into a trap with a "safe passage" promise, but up to 50 border reivers loyal to him were also put to death.

John Armstrong of Langholm and Staplegorton was a notorious Border reiver from the powerful Armstrong family. A plunderer and raider, he operated along the lawless borderlands and would change allegiances as the balance of power shifted. He led a band of a hundred and sixty men, despite having no income from rents. At this time there were no laws against the Reivers, it wasn't until 1667 The borders custom of paying blackmail to avoid kidnapping was outlawed;, both Scottish and English power brokers used the Border Reivers for their own political games until then.

Armstrong operated with impunity for some years under the protection of Robert Maxwell, 5th Lord Maxwell, as a leader of a gang of raiders. He burnt Netherby in Cumberland in 1527, in return for which William Dacre, 3rd Baron Dacre burnt him out at Canonbie in 1528. Gavin Dunbar, the Archbishop of Glasgow and Chancellor of Scotland, intervened with an excommunication for Armstrong, whose activities made the central authority look weak and were a hindrance to diplomacy with England. When King James V took personal control of the situation, Armstrong and his men were to be dealt with swiftly and severely as rebels. In 1530, he put together an army from the loyal Lairds and marched on the Borders to try to suppress what he saw were the worst of the ‘Theives and lymmaris’.

This led to the execution of William Cockburn of Henderland and Adam Scott of Tushielaw. Armstrong was also captured. The king had promised him safe conduct, but he was hanged and buried along with forty to fifty of his men in the chapel graveyard. A memorial opposite the new church was erected in 1897, and an older memorial stone marks the nearby grave site.

A romanticised picture of Armstrong was promoted by the nineteenth-century writings of Sir Walter Scott and Herbert Maxwell. The ballads first saw print in Allan Ramsay’s collection ‘Ever Green’ in 1724 and later appeared in Caw’s ‘Poetical Museum’ in 1784 and Scott’s Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border.

The trucking industry is one of the most regulated in the U.S. and Canada, which means compliance is always a top concern for transportation industries. This is especially true when it comes to cross-border freight. These days, border officials rely on digital documents to make the customs process smoother. Having the right software can make this process easy and reduce the risk of errors. Here are a few ways AVAAL eManifest software can make border crossing easy for your business.

Compliance Made Simple

To run a successful trucking business, compliance always needs to be a top priority. Not following the required customs process or accurately filling out documentation can result in lost time, reduced profits, and even legal consequences. Both Canada and the U.S. require carriers to submit their eManifests one hour prior and send their paperwork to customs brokers two hours prior to a driver’s arrival at the border. With AVAAL’s eManifest software, submitting this has never been easier. Our software is tailor-made to meet all the requirements so that you can cross the border without any hassles and be confident that you’re complying with all regulations.

Easy to Use Platform

Both the U.S. and Canada currently offer their own free eManifest portal. Unfortunately, these are difficult to use and not designed to support carriers that regularly cross the border. These platforms also don’t share data between ACE and ACI, creating issues for cross-border trucking companies. AVAAL eManifest is easy to use and reliable. It’s web-based software, meaning you can submit your manifests at any time and from anywhere. Our software also comes with 24/7 support, so we will be available to help you if any issues arise.

Tailored to Your Business' Needs

Not all trucking companies have the same needs, even when it comes to border-crossing. One thing that sets our eManifest software apart from others is that it can be tailor-fit to meet your company’s needs. Whether you’re a single operator or a multi-national company, we offer the greatest level of flexibility and have an eManifest plan to suit your requirements. We have a team of experts on hand ready to help you with all your businesses’ needs.

PAPS and PARS: How to Speed Up Your Cross-Border Shipments

PAPS (Pre-Arrival Processing System) and PARS (Pre-Arrival Review System) are essential components in cross-border trade between Canada and the United States. Let’s explore what they are and how they facilitate the movement of commercial goods across the Canadian and U.S. borders:

PARS (Pre-Arrival Review System):

Designation: PARS is used by the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) to clear commercial goods through customs.

Functionality: It involves bar code labels placed on commercial invoices. CBSA agents scan these labels to determine whether goods need immediate release or further inspection.

Integration: PARS works with the ACI (Advance Commercial Information) electronic manifest system in Canada.

PAPS (Pre-Arrival Processing System):

Designation: PAPS is the U.S. counterpart of PARS.

Functionality: Similar to PARS, it allows U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to process goods as they cross the border.

Integration: PAPS operates within the ACE (Automated Commercial Environment) electronic manifest system in the United States.

Similarities and Differences:

Both PARS and PAPS serve the same purpose: facilitating the movement of goods.

The main difference lies in their geographical scope: PARS for Canada, PAPS for the USA.

Having similar systems streamlines importing and exporting between the two countries.

When Do You Need PARS or PAPS Numbers?

Any commercial shipments entering Canada or the U.S. by truck use PARS or PAPS numbers as the default shipping type.

The PARS/PAPS process involves carriers, shippers, and customs brokers working together to ensure smooth border crossings.

Here’s how it works:

A carrier assigns a PARS or PAPS number to a shipment.

The customs broker uses this number to request the release of the shipment from customs.

The carrier prepares an eManifest listing using ACI (Canada) or ACE (U.S.), referencing the PARS or PAPS number.

Only when both the broker’s entry and the carrier’s eManifest listing are accepted can the goods proceed to the border.

Customs officers verify the PARS or PAPS number to release the goods or refer them for inspection.

In summary, PARS and PAPS play a crucial role in expediting cross-border trade, ensuring compliance, and enhancing efficiency for carriers and importers.

Ma'am, I just work here

Working in a pawn shop in Baldur's Gate sometimes means being privy to the most interesting items, even those that maybe you should have never put your hands on.

or: Raphael visits the most unfortunate little pawn shop worker

It's another quiet day at the "Brokering Gate", a little smarmy pawn office that lies between the recently collapsed Steel Watcher Foundry and the Guilt docks, a blocked-off area for incoming trade that remains just barely under the table. Ever since the rubble of that huge flying brain mass came down, there has been a weird rotting note to the air that borders on repugnant just barely. To keep the worst of it out, most of the "Gate's" shutters have been closed and enchanted with a shield-type spell – Yas doesn't care much for the details – due to their windows being blown to shittereens during the initial blast. It's a wonder, or curse depending on who you ask, that the shop still stands.

Yas hates, absolutely loathes working at the "Brokering Gate" on account of its weird customers and despicable owner, but she also hates not having anything to eat or a roof over her head, so in the end she just has to bite the bulette. And with the evasion of total annihilation comes some perks. People find the most interesting things to sell amidst the chaos coming to their silly little pawn shop, their competitors having mostly been wiped out or turned into ilithids.

One of those people had surprisingly been none other than THE hero, Tav, and their merry band of weirdos waltzing into the store, most of them heaving under the weight of overfilling pouches and backpacks, the jingle-jangle filling the air when the bags hit the ground. It had been a bad day for their accounts but a good one for stuffing the shop up the roof with items of varying usefulness.

One of these items had been a trilogy of diaries. As soon as Yas opened them during a lull in the shop she knew she had found her new obsession for the next weeks. Two of the three books were filled to the brim with mischief, silly little poems, intricate plans, or just daily developments, all written by some seemingly third-grade bard working hard to fill his made-up fantasy with lore. The third one however stopped halfway through, leaving an open end to the saga of the writer, a self-serving schemer hungering for power over the Nine Hells, and his assumed dalliance with the so-called hero, a tadpoled fool trapsing through the world the writer seemingly controlled.

Usually, Yas wouldn't go for such bottom-of-the-barrel fiction, but after skimming over them she had decided to fully embrace their weirdness.

Now it's deep into the afternoon and instead of having another go at the inventory she stands entranced at the counter ruffling through the pages, giggling to herself.

"Predilection. Who talks like that?", she quietly murmurs, although a part of her envies the artful usage of these special little words. With a grin, Yas comforts herself by imagining the fop with this kind of speech trying to order a beer at the bar she works her evening shifts at.

The soft little chime from the bell above their entrance takes her back to the store and she mentally readies her customer service personality. In walks an older man, a slight limp to his right leg, steadying himself on an intricate wooden cane with golden inlays, the soft tock of it accompanying the scraping of his "good" foot across the floor. Yet something about his demeanor stops her from emphasizing with him. His "warm" smile sends shivers down her spine, not the good kind, his left hand readies itself in the air for a grand gesture and his clothes look preened and faultless. She knows she probably can't hide it behind her fake smile, but all she feels is disdain.

Yet when the man starts to talk, she does notice that his voice has a deep rumble that resonates with her. Yas gets a good look at his sharp features and soft skin, since no matter what he says, he can't seem to stand still, instead opting for theatrical movement and emphasis on his words with every twitch of his face. "My dear bespackled attendant of this fine éstablissement, may I use some of your precious time to inquire about some items that might have found their way into your possession? Obviously, your help will be well compensated should you have any of these items at hand. I have had quite the adventure searching all over town and imagine my unbridled surprise upon finding out that there was still one last market to peruse. Resting amidst the-"

By this point Yas has already put two and two together, looking forward to the peacock finishing his exhausting monologue and confirming her suspicion. In the meantime she nods politely along, adding some "Uhuu's" and "no way's" here and there, nearly draining her affirmative vocabulary, until she finally has it and simply moves the diary she had been reading across the counter.

That shuts him up all right. As soon as his eyes spy the unassuming, worn-down cover, a wave of joy washes over his features, quickly hidden away just so, behind his noble mask.

She hopes that between his grandiose entrance and the following speech, he never realized that she was actively reading one of his diaries, before pushing it out of the way. When trying to glean his face for a reaction all she gets is the usual calm demeanor.

"I'm sorry for interrupting you, but from my colleagues' descriptions, this book and its siblings might be the item you're looking for. If you would like we can verify this by counter-checking the text with your description." Yas is trying everything not to let her face betray that she knows about the innards of this book or that she can't believe that the writer is the guy in front of her. It's never good to directly laugh at a customer.

A shadow crawls over the customer's face and suddenly her giddiness dissipates into fear. Unlike before, this time she feels like the show of emotion is meant for her. Yas quickly puts up her hands in defense: "I'm so sorry that my colleagues rustled around in your private property but they had to make sure none of the books were cursed or dangerous in a similar fashion. Obviously, I have no interest in further violating your privacy."

Now a toothy smile flashes across his features and instead of the cane he now leans onto the counter, somehow still being taller than Yas standing at full height. "My dear friend, I am so very grateful for your understanding. The loss of these precious memories has left me quite hurt and it would not do to add to this pain. There is no need for you to read more of the text, there should be a sigil on the blurp, simply lay it out here and I will show you."

With an unsure grin of her own, she does as he bids and lays down the book, blurp for both to see. A swift motion later he holds a dagger in his hand, much to the shock of Yas, yet before she can exclaim her bewilderment, he simply pokes himself in the finger and vanishes it just as quickly as he conjured it. A distinct smell of sulphur fills her nose and she gets a bit queasy looking at two drops of blood spilling on the page of the book.

A second ticks by and suddenly a fiery symbol burns itself into the book.

The silence afterward is palatable.

"Yeah. I guess this is yours, huh." Yas is sure that she is not getting paid enough to deal with what kind of fiery devil shit this might be, so she just shrugs and goes to the backroom to get the other books. She wants this man out of the shop as soon as possible.

As soon as she comes back into his view, he starts up again: "Thank you very much, dear. Say, you don't happen to have some hellishly delicious paintings lying around?"

Oh no.

She knows very well where they are, but considering what Cambrin, her boss, has done to them, she decides she won't be the one to bring this up.

"There might be some more in the personal vault of my employer, but he is unfortunately not in today and won't allow anyone else into his office." Before she finishes the sentence anger flashes into his eyes and his nose scrunches, but she has an idea to smoothe him over immediately. "I'm sure he will come in in the evening to make sure everything is up to speed. Considering how late it already is, it shouldn't be long now."

That somewhat appeases her customer and she allows herself a moment of respite.

He purses his lip, a hand to his chin as if to seriously consider what she just said. "Well, I think I can offer up some more of my precious time for your employer, even though it will certainly throw around my plans for the evening. Will some of your other colleagues be there tonight? Specifically, those that wanted to sate their curiosity with these books?" He is all smiles but there's a dangerous shine to his gaze, that renders his brown eyes almost black.

"The evening shift should be taking over then, yes. We usually stay open late into the night, so we have to change it up. Considering the work plan they might be there, but I can't make any promises."

He pushes himself further onto the counter to lean closer to her face as if to share a secret just between the two of them. "Surely you have heard of the little idiom of the fortunate rat, fleeing the ship before it tragically goes down with its captain. I suppose, there are certain situations in which one should adhere to that principle, saving one's skin before it is too late." He gifts Yas another smile, this time arguably more toothy than before, his canines growing before her eyes.

She can't stop herself from mumbling: "That would make me the rat I presume." They both lock eyes and all he does to acknowledge Yas is a slight tilt of the head.

Living in Baldur's Gate is hard enough as it is, with weird tentacle monsters, bandits, and bloody murders seeping into the daily survival. And now this… thing was making it very obvious that the shop was going to see his reckoning. Maybe it was finally time to leave the city for good.

With a deep inhale she takes a step back and fishes the key to the store out of her pocket, puts it on the counter with a soft clink and slips it over to the stranger.

"A very wise decision."

Without another word or acknowledgment, she steps out behind the bar and slowly makes her way to the exit. Before she can fully leave, however, the stranger has to get in another sentence:

"I do hope you remember to keep privacy matters a higher priority from now on, my dear. After all, you never know who might be watching."

She can only nod, locking eyes with him once again before she all but runs out of the store.

The next day she will walk past the store, finding it surrounded by Flaming Fists trying to put out the fires and talking about the charred corpses inside.

One of my biggest pet peeves at my job is when clients don’t realize that we are a customs broker, not the freaking Canadian Border Services Agency themselves.

Customs brokers are not the ones who make the decisions on whether or not your shit can come over the border, we’re just the ones who tell CBSA what you’re bringing in. THEY make the decision.

If your shit rejects and the CBSA is saying there’s something missing or invalid, but we’ve already correctly entered all of the information you’ve given us, then your info is incorrect or invalid. And if it’s not then you can take it up with the actual CBSA not the freaking customs broker. 🙄

How To Import A Vehicle From The US To Canada: A Step-By-Step Guide

If you're considering bringing a vehicle from the United States to Canada, you're in the right place. Importing a car from the US to Canada might seem like a complicated process, but with the right steps and guidance, it can be straightforward. This guide will help you understand the key requirements and processes involved in importing a vehicle from the US to Canada.

1. Understand the Requirements

Before you can import your vehicle, you must first ensure that it complies with Canadian regulations. Vehicles brought into Canada must meet specific safety, emissions, and labeling standards set by the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS). The vehicle should be less than 15 years old for easy compliance, as older vehicles may require additional documentation or modifications. How To Import A Vehicle From Us To Canada

2. Ensure the Vehicle is Eligible

Not every car from the US is eligible for import into Canada. Some vehicles may be restricted due to safety, emissions, or age concerns. It’s important to check the Government of Canada’s Registrar of Imported Vehicles (RIV) database to see if your vehicle is admissible.

Additionally, certain vehicles may require modifications to meet Canadian standards. For example, headlights, speedometer settings, and other key parts may need adjustments before importation.

3. Gather Necessary Documents

You'll need several documents for the import process. These typically include:

Vehicle title (proof of ownership)

Bill of sale

Proof of insurance

US export certificate (if applicable)

These documents are required when you reach the Canadian border for the customs clearance process.

4. Customs Clearance at the Border

Once your vehicle is in transit, you'll need to clear it through Canadian customs. This is an important step in the process. You will need to:

Present all necessary documents.

Pay any applicable duties, taxes, or fees.

Ensure the vehicle complies with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) regulations.

It’s recommended to hire a customs broker to assist with this process to avoid delays or confusion.

5. Register Your Vehicle in Canada

After your vehicle clears customs, the next step is to register it in Canada. This involves getting a Canadian Vehicle Inspection to ensure it complies with Canadian standards. Once approved, you'll receive your Canadian registration and license plates.

It’s important to note that the province you live in may have specific registration requirements, so check with your local licensing authority for additional steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much does it cost to import a vehicle from the US to Canada?

The cost of importing a vehicle can vary based on factors such as the vehicle's value, modifications, and the shipping method. You’ll need to budget for shipping fees, customs duties, taxes, and any required modifications.

2. How long does it take to import a vehicle?

On average, the process can take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months. This depends on various factors, including paperwork, inspections, and shipping times.

3. Can I import a vehicle older than 15 years?

Yes, but the process may be more complicated. Vehicles over 15 years old may require modifications to meet Canadian safety and emissions standards.

4. Do I need to pay duties or taxes when importing a vehicle?

Yes, you will likely need to pay import duties and taxes when bringing your car into Canada. The amount depends on the vehicle's value, and you can consult the Canada Border Services Agency for more details.

5. Can I import a non-compliant vehicle?

Non-compliant vehicles can still be imported, but they may need to be modified to meet Canadian standards. You’ll need to work with certified mechanics or modification services to make the necessary adjustments.

5 Challenges in Freight Forwarding and How to Overcome Them

Freight forwarding is a vital part of global trade, ensuring the seamless movement of goods across borders. However, like any logistics process, it comes with its unique set of challenges. Whether you’re a seasoned logistics professional or new to the industry, understanding these obstacles and knowing how to overcome them can significantly improve your freight forwarding operations. In this blog, we’ll explore the 5 most common challenges in freight forwarding and provide actionable strategies to tackle them.

1. Customs Delays and Regulatory Compliance Issues

One of the biggest hurdles in freight forwarding is dealing with customs delays and staying compliant with constantly changing regulations. These delays can significantly disrupt supply chains, increase costs, and affect delivery timelines.

How to Overcome It:

• Stay Informed on Regulations: Freight forwarding requires staying updated on local, national, and international customs regulations. Regularly check for updates on tariffs, taxes, and compliance requirements.

• Work with Experienced Customs Brokers: Partner with reliable customs brokers who are well-versed in the complexities of international trade to ensure your shipments clear customs smoothly.

• Pre-clearance Options: Take advantage of pre-clearance programs in some countries, where you can submit documents in advance for quicker clearance.

2. Unpredictable Fuel Costs and Shipping Rates

Fuel costs are often unpredictable and can dramatically affect shipping rates. Since fuel prices fluctuate, this unpredictability can result in increased costs for both freight forwarders and customers.

How to Overcome It:

• Forecast Costs and Plan Accordingly: Freight forwarders should stay on top of fuel price trends and adjust their budgets accordingly. Offering fixed-rate contracts for clients can help mitigate sudden price increases.

• Choose Efficient Shipping Routes: Optimize shipping routes to minimize fuel consumption. This can involve using multi-modal transportation, combining air, sea, and land freight to reduce costs and travel time.

• Leverage Fuel Surcharges: Include fuel surcharges in contracts to ensure that any significant increases in fuel prices are accounted for.

3. Supply Chain Disruptions

The global supply chain is increasingly complex and interconnected, and any disruptions—whether due to natural disasters, political instability, or pandemics—can cause delays in freight forwarding. These disruptions often lead to cargo shortages, extended transit times, and unexpected costs.

How to Overcome It:

• Diversify Suppliers and Routes: Avoid relying on a single supplier or transportation route. By diversifying suppliers and transportation methods, you can minimize the impact of disruptions in one region.

• Use Technology for Real-Time Updates: Invest in freight forwarding software that offers real-time tracking, giving you the ability to monitor cargo and identify any potential delays immediately.

• Build Strong Relationships with Multiple Partners: Having a network of trusted shipping partners, including carriers, customs agents, and other logistics providers, can help mitigate supply chain interruptions.

4. Cargo Damage and Loss

Shipping goods internationally always carries the risk of cargo damage or loss, whether during transport or in the handling process. For freight forwarding companies, ensuring the safety of goods is a constant challenge.

How to Overcome It:

• Proper Packaging and Handling: Ensure that cargo is packaged securely according to international standards, taking into account the nature of the goods being transported. The right packaging reduces the risk of damage during transit.

• Insurance Options: Offer comprehensive insurance options to clients, ensuring that in the event of cargo loss or damage, they are financially covered.

• Regular Inspection: Implement a quality control system to inspect goods regularly during transit to catch potential issues early and prevent damage.

5. Managing Documentation and Paperwork

Managing the volume of documentation required for freight forwarding can be overwhelming. Incorrect or missing paperwork can lead to delays, fines, and customs issues, making it one of the most time-consuming challenges in the logistics industry.

How to Overcome It:

• Automate Documentation: Use digital tools and freight forwarding software to automate documentation and reduce the risk of human error. This ensures that all necessary paperwork is in place and accessible.

• Track and Store Documents Efficiently: Implement a document management system that allows you to track and store documentation digitally, making it easier to access and reference.

• Work with Experts: Hire experienced staff or work with logistics partners who specialize in handling the documentation process to ensure everything is in order.

Conclusion

While freight forwarding comes with its fair share of challenges, understanding these issues and having a proactive approach to solving them is key to running a successful operation. By staying informed about customs regulations, managing costs effectively, reducing risks, and embracing technology, you can streamline your freight forwarding processes and provide more reliable services to your customers.

Top challenges in cross-border VAT and how to overcome them

Value Added Tax is among the things that make international trade really very important, albeit with some challenges especially in cross-border situations. As such, international traders have to face varying rates, intricate regulations, and compliance requirements. This article discusses most of the recurrent challenges facing cross-border VAT and provides actionable solutions to aid in overcoming them.

What is cross-border VAT?

Cross Border VAT is generally the VAT effect that occurs when a business is trading goods or services across most countries in the world. This kind of VAT becomes very complicated because different countries have their own VAT regulations, hence making it complex for a business operating internationally.

Key challenges in cross-border VAT

1. Variability in VAT Rates and Regulations

The primary challenge in cross-border VAT is the inconsistency in the rates of VAT and the rules between nations. Rates of VAT differ with every country and are, in some cases, notably different. There also exist variations in the rules and laws relating to VAT, making it even more difficult for businesses to comply with such multiple jurisdictions.

Solution:

Research and Understand Local Regulations: A business has to invest the time to understand the VAT regulations of the countries in which it operates and should keep abreast of the changes in legislation.

Leverage Technology: Use VAT compliance software to track and apply the correct VAT rates by country of transaction.

2. Registration and Compliance Requirements

How do businesses manage VAT registration in multiple countries?

Registration for VAT in more than one country is daunting. That is because each country has very sovereign-dependent thresholds and requirements that a business needs to identify when and in which country it needs to register with.

Solution:

Centralise VAT Management: Put in place a centralised system of VAT management capable of performing all functions of registration, filing, and compliance across countries.

Seek Professional Assistance: Work with experts in VAT or consultants who can direct you regarding the registration and compliance requirements under different jurisdictions.

3. Import VAT and Customs Procedures

Another significant challenge is navigating the import VAT and customs procedures. Import VAT is normally payable at the point of entry, and customs itself can be a complex process with many documentation and procedural requirements.

Solution:

Pre-Planning and Documentation: All the required documentation needs to be done well in advance so that there are no hindrances and the result in penalty charges at the customs.

Customs Brokers. It would be advisable to use the services of Customs brokers for smooth customs clearance and deal with the Import VAT.

4. VAT Reclaim Processes

Can businesses reclaim VAT paid on international transactions?

VAT paid on expenses incurred in foreign countries is recoverable, although reclaiming procedures are very complicated and time-consuming. The documentation is very detailed, and it must be followed by specific timeframes.

Solution:

Streamlined Reclaim Processes: Implement procedures to track and document all costs for which VAT reclaims are possible. Reclaim processes have been made as simplified as possible.

Outsource VAT Reclaims: When in a certain country, outsource VAT reclaims to third-party services specialising in VAT reclaims so as to conduct an accurate and efficient VAT reclaim.

5. Exchange Rate Fluctuations

The impact of fluctuations in the rate of exchange will be that more VAT may be due-or reclaimable-than was originally anticipated, which again adds to the complexity of cross-border VAT management.

Solution:

Currency Hedging: You should work out currency hedging to ensure that minimal risk arises in fluctuation in the exchange rate.

Regular Monitoring: It constantly monitors the exchange rate and updates in pricing and accounting practices.

6. Digital Services and VAT

VAT implications have become sophisticated with the rise of digital services. In many cases, the location of the consumer is where VAT is charged, which helps to increase the compliance levels of the VAT charged.

Solution:

Automated VAT Calculation: The automated VAT calculation will help a firm calculate and apply the correct VAT based on the location of the consumer.

Stay up to date: The legislation on VAT in the case of digital services is changing very often.

FAQs

Q1. What is the difference between VAT and sales tax?

A1. VAT is an upstream, or consumption, tax charged at every stage of the supply chain, while sales tax is charged only at the last point, when the product is being sold to the consumer.

Q2. Do I need to register for VAT in every country I sell to?

A2. Not necessarily. Each country has its threshold for VAT registration. You will have to register in case your sales are above the threshold in a particular country.

Q3. How can I ensure compliance with VAT regulations in different countries?

A3. It will facilitate compliance by using VAT compliance software, keeping up to date with the change in regulations locally, and proper advice to be obtained from the VAT experts.

Q4. What happens if I don’t comply with VAT regulations?

A4. Non-compliance with VAT regulations can result in fines, penalties, and legal issues. It can also lead to delays in shipments and damage to your business reputation.

Q5. Can I reclaim VAT on business expenses incurred abroad?

A5. Yes, you can reclaim VAT on certain business expenses that you have sustained abroad, but this is with a very complicated procedure and requires strict documentation.

Conclusion

The complexities involved while navigating cross-border VAT demand strategic approach, leverage on technology, and being updated with any changes. These obstacles can be overcome by businesses by having systems of centralised VAT management in place, seeking professional help, as also using specialised services to this end for VAT reclaims and compliance.

It helps businesses achieve streamlined crossborder VAT compliance for international trade in the following measure. This ranges from VAT registration to compliance and VAT reclaims; www.crossbordervat.com provides the expertise and tools to meet your cross-border VAT obligations.

The trucking industry is one of the most regulated in the U.S. and Canada, which means compliance is always a top concern for transportation industries. This is especially true when it comes to cross-border freight. These days, border officials rely on digital documents to make the customs process smoother. Having the right software can make this process easy and reduce the risk of errors. Here are a few ways AVAAL eManifest software can make border crossing easy for your business.

Compliance Made Simple To run a successful trucking business, compliance always needs to be a top priority. Not following the required customs process or accurately filling out documentation can result in lost time, reduced profits, and even legal consequences. Both Canada and the U.S. require carriers to submit their eManifests one hour prior and send their paperwork to customs brokers two hours prior to a driver’s arrival at the border. With AVAAL’s eManifest software, submitting this has never been easier. Our software is tailor-made to meet all the requirements so that you can cross the border without any hassles and be confident that you’re complying with all regulations.

Easy to Use Platform Both the U.S. and Canada currently offer their own free eManifest portal. Unfortunately, these are difficult to use and not designed to support carriers that regularly cross the border. These platforms also don’t share data between ACE and ACI, creating issues for cross-border trucking companies. AVAAL eManifest is easy to use and reliable. It’s web-based software, meaning you can submit your manifests at any time and from anywhere. Our software also comes with 24/7 support, so we will be available to help you if any issues arise.

Tailored to Your Business' Needs Not all trucking companies have the same needs, even when it comes to border-crossing. One thing that sets our eManifest software apart from others is that it can be tailor-fit to meet your company’s needs. Whether you’re a single operator or a multi-national company, we offer the greatest level of flexibility and have an eManifest plan to suit your requirements. We have a team of experts on hand ready to help you with all your businesses’ needs.

PAPS and PARS: How to Speed Up Your Cross-Border Shipments

PAPS (Pre-Arrival Processing System) and PARS (Pre-Arrival Review System) are essential components in cross-border trade between Canada and the United States. Let’s explore what they are and how they facilitate the movement of commercial goods across the Canadian and U.S. borders:

PARS (Pre-Arrival Review System):

Designation: PARS is used by the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) to clear commercial goods through customs.

Functionality: It involves bar code labels placed on commercial invoices. CBSA agents scan these labels to determine whether goods need immediate release or further inspection.

Integration: PARS works with the ACI (Advance Commercial Information) electronic manifest system in Canada.

PAPS (Pre-Arrival Processing System):

Designation: PAPS is the U.S. counterpart of PARS.

Functionality: Similar to PARS, it allows U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to process goods as they cross the border.

Integration: PAPS operates within the ACE (Automated Commercial Environment) electronic manifest system in the United States.

Similarities and Differences:

Both PARS and PAPS serve the same purpose: facilitating the movement of goods.

The main difference lies in their geographical scope: PARS for Canada, PAPS for the USA.

Having similar systems streamlines importing and exporting between the two countries.

When Do You Need PARS or PAPS Numbers?

Any commercial shipments entering Canada or the U.S. by truck use PARS or PAPS numbers as the default shipping type.

The PARS/PAPS process involves carriers, shippers, and customs brokers working together to ensure smooth border crossings.

Here’s how it works:

A carrier assigns a PARS or PAPS number to a shipment.

The customs broker uses this number to request the release of the shipment from customs.

The carrier prepares an eManifest listing using ACI (Canada) or ACE (U.S.), referencing the PARS or PAPS number.

Only when both the broker’s entry and the carrier’s eManifest listing are accepted can the goods proceed to the border.

Customs officers verify the PARS or PAPS number to release the goods or refer them for inspection.

In summary, PARS and PAPS play a crucial role in expediting cross-border trade, ensuring compliance, and enhancing efficiency for carriers and importers.
