On Getting Your China Cargo/Freight/Product

DHL just came out with its 4th (and probably most important) volume in its "Olympics Memo And Contingency Plan." (h/t to All Roads Lead to China). This memo does an absolutely amazing job of listing out the rules and changes applicable to cargo and freight and automobiles and trucks and ports and traffic and airports and polluting factories arising out of or relating to the Olympics.

And if you think all of this only matters if you are in the cargo or freight forwarding business or doing business in Beijing or running a factory in China, think again.

Just about everyone who does any sort of business in China will be affected in some way by the various changes that have happened or will soon happen as China (and again, not just Beijing) gets ready. Even if you do nothing more than buy product from China, I urge you to read this memo.
