Due to the increasing concerns about terrorist organizations, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection (CBP) introduced border protection measures in the United States after the 9/11 attacks. Subsequently, Canada's PIP and the European Union's AEO anti-terrorism requirements were also introduced, which greatly affected Chinese enterprises conducting business internationally. Delays in document processing and increased frequency of border inspections have significantly impacted the delivery deadline requirements of enterprises and led to an increase in personnel costs.
To meet the security requirements of major international countries, enterprises conducting international business must provide proof that they have established a security system and demonstrate their supply chain management security performance through audits. With the development of global economic integration and market internationalization, the security issue of supply chain management has become a key factor for enterprises to develop in the international market. Therefore, a comprehensive supply chain security management can bring the following benefits to enterprises:
Improve the efficiency of supply chain security management and reduce risks
Improve corporate security management to reduce the risk of corporate property theft
Avoid multiple inspections, while meeting the requirements of different buyers and customers, to help suppliers strengthen security measures, earn the trust of importers, and enhance their competitiveness in the international market
