Advisory and software services that help shippers and merchants cut new shipping and card-processing costs and stay compliant.
Regulatory arbitrage & compliance services for fee/policy shifts (shipping & payments)
New tariff and fee moves — the FMC’s proposed fees on Spanish-flagged vessels and import restrictions, Canada’s tariff shifts and the Port of Los Angeles warning of tariff-driven planning risk — plus Visa and Mastercard urging a court to approve a fee settlement are forcing firms (Nestlé, Lululemon) to rethink sourcing, creating demand for cost-cutting advisory and compliance software.
