The US Customs Compliance and Enforcement Conference is a must-attend event for customs and trade compliance counsel and officers. Security has become and will continue to be the primary focus of US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). However, with expanded audit programs and identification of additional priority trade issues such as product safety and free trade programs, companies of all sizes must be prepared to balance the twin demands of security and import compliance at a time when resources for many companies are limited. This conference will offer suggestions on "best practices" and ways to avoid "red flag" situations to better the odds of achieving inbound compliance objectives.
