How A Government Shutdown May Impact Supply Chains
A government shutdown can impact supply chains in multiple different ways and can lead to a ripple effect across the entire global supply chain. The consequences of any such lapse depend on the length of the shutdown and what areas are affected.
While many essential services remain in operation, shutdowns may lead to:
- Slower cargo clearance
- Increased costs for storage and shipping
- Flight delays for air cargo
- Delays in new certifications and onboarding new employees at cargo companies
In addition to these direct impacts, shutdowns may lead to indirect challenges. When shipping and cargo transportation operations return to full staff and capacity, this can cause a surge in product processing, which requires processors to increase staffing to clear the backlog.
