What are legal issues in logistics?

Legal aspects are actually areas of law


jurisdictions that govern the logistics and
transportation sector which provisions are made
by the government in ensuring and creating a fair
playground for all companies involved.
• Companies of any size cannot do business with having to be
aware of the legal, government and regulatory issues that
affect them. Logistics and transportation companies are
confronted by a multitude of pressures that raise new legal
issues and spur an ever-greater need for legal advice that is
dynamic and global in its perspective. And in clear to
optimize their competitive advantage, transportation and
logistics players face escalating liability and insurance risks,
tightening regulatory structures, diverse international legal
regimes, and heightened demand for innovative finances.  
• Even the best companies forget that their supply chains
are only as strong as the transportation system that
supports them. The answer is having the right
information in understanding the legal and operational
challenges ahead.logistics is the process of planning,
implementing and controlling the efficient and cost-
effective flow and storage of raw materials, in-process
inventory, finished goods and related information from
the point of origin to the point of the consumption for
the purpose of conforming to customer requirements.
Legal Issues in the Distribution,
Transportation and Logistics Industry
•The distribution, transportation, and logistics industry is a tough
environment governed by the laws of distribution. Yet, companies
also need to face economic crime or fraud which forces them to
navigate the regulatory minefield not only in their home country,
but also in every single territory in which they hold operations. The
fact is that 45% of transportation and logistics companies have
experienced fraud in one form or another over the last two years.
Although the damage is not counted in human lives, it remains
damaging in many ways and includes substantial financial costs, as
well as damaging employee morale, the vendor-supplier
relationship, or the company’s competitive edge.
   
• Cargo Theft – Fraud is most commonly
associated with misappropriation and theft.
The distribution, transportation, and logistics
industry is definitely not protected against this
type of crime either. Cargo theft may occur not
only in freight-forwarding and storage
operations, but also during transportation or in
the process of loading and unloading.
