It is really useful reading about the varying international import and export codes operating at different countries. Our company is looking into the Asian market and so has been investigating the legislative differences into air freight charter and has to be really vigilant about these codes and documents.

Hi, would like to know that if local delivery (hand carry) from Johor to Penang Bayan Lepas is it compulsory required custom declaration form? Customer (Recipient)state that have to follow FTZ rule, but i check that this rule is apply on USA.
If in this case, we are hand carry to recipient not by freight forwarder, can we still doing backdated custom declaration form?

Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?
