The world has seen massive changes over the last five years. Climate change, geopolitical conflicts, a global pandemic and shifting alliances have all impacted supply chains in all aspects. Just months into 2025, the year has already faced a myriad of challenges that have significantly impacted supply chains and logistics.
Global supply chains are facing increasing complexity as new tariff measures, evolving customs regulations, and stricter enforcement reshape how companies move goods across borders. In today’s environment, trade compliance is no longer just about meeting minimum requirements — it’s a strategic priority for businesses looking to stay competitive and resilient.
In the third episode of this Beyond the Box podcast season, hosts Nichole Allem and Philip Lewin speak with Janet Labuda, Head of Customs and Trade Issues at Maersk Customs Services in North America, and Lars Karlsson, Global Head of Trade and Customs Consulting, Global Customs Services at Maersk. They discuss how companies can navigate the evolving landscape and leverage compliance as a key component of long-term supply chain strategy.
Together, they explore:
- How new compliance expectations and digital requirements are reshaping global supply chains
- The increasing role of data in customs strategy and risk management
- What businesses need to know about forced labour regulations and ethical sourcing
- How companies can future-proof supply chains amid evolving policies in the US, EU, and Asia
As global trade continues to evolve, aligning compliance with broader business strategy is key to building resilient, agile supply chains.
Whether you're in logistics, customs, trade operations, or supply chain risk management, this episode offers practical insights into navigating today’s fast-changing global trade environment.
