Logistics plays a vital role in the nanotechnology supply chain. Key aspects include:
Transportation: Selecting the right mode of transportation (air, sea, or land) is essential, considering factors like cost, speed, and the nature of the nanomaterials. Tracking and Monitoring: Advanced tracking technologies (e.g., RFID, GPS) help monitor the location and condition of shipments in real-time, ensuring their safety and integrity. Customs and Duties: Efficient handling of customs procedures and duties can significantly reduce delays and costs associated with international shipments.
