U.S. Government shutdown —Potential Trade Impacts

02 Oct U.S. Government shutdown —Potential Trade Impacts

We have received the below advice overnight from our U.S. team.

CBP operations: U.S. Customs and Border Protection is expected to remain largely operational at ports of entry; cargo processing continues.

Partner Government Agencies (PGAs): Coverage may be patchy and unpredictable (e.g., Departments of Agriculture and Transportation), which could affect permits, inspections and related approvals.

We recommend that if there are any shipments or concerns that you might have, please reach out to one of our team members for any additional information or extra support required. But at this moment build in additional time where PGA interaction is required.

We will continue to monitor and update our clients if the situation changes.
