Automotive Border Expectations
JIT (just in time) inventory requires:
• Seamless border crossingsSeamless border crossings (i.e. minimal paperwork and crossing delays)
• Consistent treatmentConsistent treatment of shipments at every port
• Predictable border crossingsPredictable border crossings necessary to meet JIT delivery
• Expedited low risk shipmentsExpedited low risk shipments for qualified importers
• Improved infrastructureImproved infrastructure to manage traffic efficiently and allow clear access for authorized traffic
• Modern technologyModern technology to enhance and simplify processes
