AN ANALYSIS OF CHALLENGES FACED IN INTERNATIONAL LOGISTICS

For firms to guarantee successful supply chain management across borders, international logistics offers a wide range of obstacles. A significant challenge is adhering to rules, which include various import/export laws, documentation specifications specific to every nation, and various customs processes. Oftentimes, these complications lead to further expenses and delays. Infrastructure constraints, particularly in developing nations, are a major barrier as well. These include insufficient ports and transportation networks. Bottlenecks in logistics can result from limitations on the free flow of products. Language and cultural barriers can make it difficult for stakeholders and partners throughout the world to coordinate because of communication issues. To improve global trade efficiency and optimize international logistics operations, overcoming these challenges requires creative thinking, tactical alliances, and innovative technologies.
