platform was set up for Germany, France, Denmark, The Netherlands, Poland,
United Kingdom and Spain, the company said, adding that it plans to expand its

Maersk
explained that international trade is subjected to diverse and wide controls
and customs regulations that need to be met to ensure that traded goods are
entering and exiting legally. If a delay occurs, the entire plan gets affected. A delay causes increased expenses such as storage costs, fines, and penalties,
resulting in additional problems for importers and exporters.
