Horizon synthesis and use
- Do not schedule critical cargo on the assumption that a draft will be signed or implemented. Contract and inventory scenarios should include a delayed or partial reopening. Use the dated source as evidence of the reported development; revalidate live operating conditions before travel, shipping, contracting or investment decisions.
