Monday, April 21, 2014 Ag group: Documentation rules in Japan and EU imperil U.S. agriculture exportsThe Agriculture Transportation Coalition has announced efforts to revise new export documentation rules that threaten the viability of U.S. agriculture exports via ocean carrier, especially perishable goods, according to a coalition statement. The coalition said that Japan and the EU have imposed unrealistic deadlines for advance submission of export documentation. The new regulations can cause unforeseen delays, threatening the viability of such exports from the U.S., and the group said it will address these and other supply chain issues with agriculture exporters, ocean carriers and other stakeholders at its annual meeting in June. A problem arises because U.S. exporters of citrus and other perishables, although willing to provide such information, need expedited treatment in order for their products to be viable upon delivery, ATC says.
