Compliance
The need for legal compliance entered into a new phase after the September 11, 2001 attacks when safety and security measurements were stepped up by all Governments and authorities. More rules needed to be complied too by all stakeholders in the transport of passengers but certainly also for the cargo movements across international borders. One such example is the CTPAT certification by US Customs & Border Protection implemented by November 2001. Fulfilling the requirement enacted by Governments of countries around the world is now part of doing business and to meet the standards of compliance is important for the supply chain of companies doing International business.
At Best Global Logistics Co., Ltd. we consult our customers and partners on the rules and regulations applicable for the origin or destination country related to the documentation and cargo information. Our skilled operations members plan carefully for timely submitting data into the systems such as Advanced Manifest System (AMS) or other such platforms helping your company to avoid penalties or delays at country of destination. To ensure we have constant focus on compliance affairs we nominated one of our management team member to take on the function of Customs, Compliance and Implementation Director.
Compliance is also extreme important when it concerns the correct data entry in the Customs declaration submitted. Choosing the right HS Codes classification is key in Thailand for paying the exact amount of duty and tax as required by the law. Not following this principle a company as importer of record can become eligible to pay hefty fines. Our BGL customs specialist members can advise you for any new product or item you wish to import into Thailand.
When providing consultancy to our customers we feel it is our duty to provide you with a sustainable transport process that meets all modern criteria and assists to avoid unnecessary disruptions. Together we select the transport method that will have the least impact of the environment and global climate.
Sustainability
The Bio-Circular-Green Economic Model(BCG) has been introduced by researchers and is promoted by the Thai government as a new economic model for inclusive and sustainable growth. The BCG model also conforms with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and is also intended to align with the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy (SEP), which is the key principle of Thailand’s social and economic development.
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, or CBAM, is a European regulation that puts a price on carbon emissions embedded in goods imported into the EU. BGL deploys the necessary & accredited software tools that support our clients to measure CO2 generated by their International transportation activities.
Best Global Logistics Co., Ltd. consults with our customers and partners on green and sustainable transportation solutions. Leading businesses around the globe are prioritizing sustainability as a core element of their branding. At BGL we understand that the movement of goods is an important element to maintain the brand promises of its customers.
