The Thirteen Commandments: No. 11
"Anticipate Your Shipments Being Delayed Or Confiscated"
The Government knows that some companies would rather risk being fined to going through the bother of setting up a good ICP. If your company reflects this philosophy, you should be aware that the Government wields an even more powerful weapon than fines -- confiscation and delay of your shipments. In the modern, just-in-time, produce-or-perish environment of international trade, your company cannot afford such delays. You may want to prepare contingency plans if your company's shipments are detained.
