Coping With U.S. Customs' Container Security Initiative: Global logistics management software may hold the key

摘要

The U.S. Customs Service launched the Container Security Initiative (CSI) in early 2002. Today, countries with 19 of the world's 20 largest ports - and other strategic locations - are working to enhance the security of the world's maritime trading system. In December 2003, the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection published the final rules requiring advance manifest information for screening. Those rules went into effect on January 5, 2004.
