Customs continues to challenge those doing business in the global marketplace.  Importing and exporting are still under intense scrutiny and tight controls are in place.  We will help you maneuver through the complexity of customs and export control issues in the post-9/11 climate, from changes in the import brokerage industry and Customs compliance systems to the increased emphasis on export compliance, including the hot topic of screening names.  We’ll also conduct a hands-on discussion concerning the key function of developing a comprehensive approach to Customs compliance that touches on all departments involved with international sales.  We’ll offer practical tips that you can apply to your organization.
