Alert Message:

As announced by the United States International Trade Commission, Effective January 27th, 2022, the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the U.S. (HTSUS) underwent many revisions to HTS codes.  Some HTS codes are no longer valid and have been replaced with newly revised codes.  There were also revisions to many sections and chapter notes throughout the HTSUS.  It’s essential to check the list to see if any of your products are affected by these new changes.

The complete list of modifications can be found here: https://www.usitc.gov/publications/tariff_affairs/pub5240.pdf

If you have any questions about these changes, the Logistics Plus Customs and Compliance team is here to help.

Basar Kandil named Deputy General Manager of LP Turkey

Basar Kandil named Deputy General Manager of LP Turkey

Basar Kindil(As Announced Earlier This Month)

It is my pleasure to report that Bahadir Erdil, Managing Director of LP Turkey and LP Global Projects Director, has named Basar Kandil as Deputy General Manager of LP Turkey.

This is greatly deserved as Basar is one of the best Project Logistics experts in the region.  He is known and respected by all the folks who came up with him, many of who are now leaders in several of the big companies. And he knows all modes of transportation, not just “the hard stuff.” (And as Bahadir says, he knows EVERY DETAIL ?)

Basar is also a great husband and Dad (and is the opposite of Bahadir—very cool, calm, and collected. Ying and Yang. And wonderful friends.  LP through and through. We are lucky to have him.

Please join me in congratulating Basar.  Very proud and happy.

Onward!

Logistics Plus Chino, CA Warehouse Gets New Racking System

Logistics Plus Chino, CA Warehouse Gets New Racking System

Chino, CA warehouse racking

(Logistics Plus employees Tom Kelly and Mario Lizaola stand in front of the new racking system installed at our Chino, CA warehouse)

The Logistics Plus Chino, CA warehouse recently received a new racking system thanks to Ziglift Material Handling. The 566,000 square foot warehouse had an Interlake Selective Racking System installed, capable of storing up to 12,000 pallet positions. The customized system can store extra-long pallets by utilizing a third “middle” row in each aisle rack to accommodate the unique depth of the pallets. Although the design was challenging, the Ziglift team successfully minimized the loss of pallet positions and the system’s overall footprint.

Logistics Plus Regional Director of Warehousing Tom Kelly said, “Working with the Ziglift team couldn’t have been easier. Their team executed our racking project to our exact needs and opened up much-needed pallet positions. I’d recommend anyone in need of warehouse racking to look no further. They are tremendous partners and friends to Logistics Plus.”

Through high-volume purchasing and procured distribution channels, its extensive catalog of equipment and material handling solutions continues to grow.
