It’s been another eventful year in supply chain! Staying up to date on US trade policy changes, understanding their impact on our business and identifying effective solutions has been critical. Our teams and suppliers are collaborating more frequently and efficiently, working together to not just meet, but exceed, our customers’ expectations.
A strong foundation is essential, as every link in the supply chain plays a critical role in enabling performance and adaptability. Key focus areas include developing value-added supplier partnerships, ensuring multiple qualified sourcing options both domestically and internationally, and maintaining heightened organizational awareness and agility to pivot in response to geopolitical and other market disruptions.
We put an emphasis on trade compliance and customs processing, collaborating with customs brokers and third parties to valid harmonized tariff schedule codes. In addition to these exercises, we explored Foreign-Trade Zone and bonded warehouse options to support efficiency and cost savings.
Here’s to a bright and promising year in 2026!
