Welcome back to Market Moves Supply Chain! There is growing tension between resilience, regulation and resource constraints in today’s supply chains. From the abrupt elimination of the $800 de minimis exemption—which reshapes cost, sourcing and customs compliance—to deeper dives into what resilience really means and the practical steps companies can take to build it, we’re seeing that stability no longer comes from “business as usual.”
AI-driven control towers and real-time decisioning show how precision and flexibility are becoming non-negotiable tools in managing disruptions, while wage pressures, shrinking talent pools and proposals for stricter proficiencies for drivers illuminate the human side of these shifts and the looming changes coming to logistics.
