Dear Friends:
 
The Australian Department of Agriculture and Water Resources has released the latest requirements regarding mandatory pre-shipment fumigation for imports into Australia, to protect against Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs over the 2018/2019 high risk season.
 
The new seasonal measures will apply to goods that are manufactured in, or shipped from, these countries:

United States of America /  Italy / Germany / France / Russia / Greece / Hungary / Romania / Georgia

Any vessel that transships or loads goods from these countries are also subject to heightened vessel surveillance.
 
Please visit http://www.agriculture.gov.au/import/before/pests/brown-marmorated-stink-bugs for more information and to familiarise yourself with the requirements.  Consignees are responsible for ensuring their shipments are compliant with the regulations.

These measures are effective from 1 September 2018 to 30 April 2019.
 
Please ensure you fully understand the links to this email re requirements  AS WELL AS the service providers who can perform fumigation.
 
Any queries, please make contact before shipping as we cannot afford to have any goods arrive that have not been handled correctly.

The USA trucking capacity is currently very tight and we are facing challenges and increasing cost in FCL, LCL, and Intermodal Trucking.  Some Factors at the root of this issue include: * Qualified Truck Driver Availability * Federal Government Mandated ELD(Electronic Logging Devices) * High Economic Demand.  All of these factors combined with several severe winter weather conditions in various parts of USA have combined to create maybe the tightest trucking capacity I have seen in 20 years.  This trend may continue for some time to come so plan ahead and allow extra time for trucking arrangements.

All offices in Pakistan will remain closed due Religious Holidays for 2 days i-e 30th Sep 2017 and 01st Oct 2017.

Land Transport Association paralyzes activities for an indefinite period!
SIF GROUP informs that, yesterday, the Land Transport Association declared a national strike for indefinite time.
The Port of Montevideo will be affected in their operations, and probably also be affect the international transport.

Dear fellow partners:

After several meetings among Unions and the Infrastructures Ministry in Spain, a strike has been finally called in all Spanish ports, as of 6th March.  If this strike is not called off, it will distort all handling operations, vessel calls and sailings.  We expect serious delays, call cancellations and backlogs.

A 2014 E.U. Directive is now mandatory and the Spanish Government has just signed the bill today; thus we do not expect changes in the Unions position. Please feel free to contact us for updated information.
