Definition & Explanation

A shipper needs access to a container terminal for a new route. Rather than have the state build and operate the facility itself, regulatory subsidiarity means the state sets access rules and safety standards while the private operator and carrier execute the business. In logistics broadly, public authorities establish the framework (infrastructure availability, fair market access, customs rules, safety standards) while freight forwarders, carriers, and shippers operate freely to find efficient solutions.
