Q&A: Ben Bidwell, director of North American customs and compliance, C.H. Robinson

Logistics Management Group News Editor Jeff Berman recently spoke with Ben Bidwell, director of North American customs and compliance, for Minneapolis, Minn.-based global logistics services provider and freight forwarder C.H. Robinson (CHR), about the trade landscape as it relates to tariffs on various fronts, including: the United State Trade Representative (USTR) recently updating its tariff policy and reinstating 352 previously expired tariff exclusions in May, opening more than $1 billion in refund potential for importers through the end of this year; the overall effectiveness of the Section 301 tariffs, and what CHR is doing to help shippers navigate through tariff-related issues and challenges, among others.

CP heralds new proof of concept interline service in partnership with KCS

While Canadian Pacific Railway’s (CP) acquisition of Kansas City Southern (KCS) is not expected to be made official until the second half of this year, CP said this week that that companies are collaborating on an interline basis, having rolled out what it said is the first dedicated intermodal train. This train runs between Lázaro Cárdenas and the U.S. Midwest. CP officials said that the impetus for this train was driven by the need to avoid excessive delays “due to the unprecedented and ongoing supply chain challenges affecting North America's West Coast.” source https://www.supplychain247.com/article/cp_heralds_new_proof_of_concept_interline_service_in_partnership_with_kcs
