Compliance is more than doing what we’re supposed to. Each truckload, warehouse transfer, and customs entry in the regulatory logistics landscape is tied to rules that demand precision. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is actively increasing audits, penalties, and cargo exams, meaning every detail of how freight moves must first be right.

At JA Group, compliance is never an afterthought—it’s designed into how we operate. Whether through JA Frate’s asset-based fleet, JA Nationwide’s carrier network, or JA Logistics’ secure warehousing facilities, we ensure your cargo moves in step with today’s regulatory logistics landscape. With facilities in the Midwest and nationwide reach, we align compliance with cut-off windows, documentation timelines, and port/airport operations, so shipments clear smoothly without costly delays.

Current Compliance Pressures Shippers Face

• Trade enforcement: CBP is focusing on incomplete or late filings, leading to potential fines and shipment holds.
   
• Cargo security: Regulators expect sealed trailers, vetted drivers, and clean chain-of-custody records.
   
• Customs compliance: Accuracy and timing are critical—errors can cause missed cut-offs at air and ocean gateways.
   
• Warehouse oversight: Restricted access, surveillance, and clear inventory control are now baseline expectations.
