Security clearance

From Supply Chain Management Encyclopedia

There have been some general additions to the clauses in the Incoterms 2010, and these relate to security clearances instituted in the post 9/11 world. Under the umbrella of "Securing the Supply Chain," a number of initiatives have been, and are being, implemented across the globe that affect procedures relating to the provision of information to border control authorities, such as the 24-hour rule that was initially implemented in the United States and has been followed by China, with others also expected to come onboard with similar border control approaches.
