To find the sweet spot in lead times, the host emphasizes the need for effective communication and coordination with suppliers and transportation providers, efficient documentation management practices, and the use of technology such as customs brokerage software. The episode concludes by highlighting the importance of these strategies in optimizing lead times and improving the customs brokerage experience.
