About
Can Your Company Afford International Customs Disputes And Border Delays?
As a customs and trade compliance executive, your accountability has expanded
beyond U.S. requirements. You need to learn and stay on top of the rules and
practices in many countries – rules and practices which change on a regular
basis and vary substantially from country to country. Moreover, there is a
general worldwide trend to tighten rules, strictly enforce documentation and
other requirements, and penalize non-compliance.
Failure to be informed and plan ahead in this ever-evolving and complex arena
can result in border delays, stiff penalties and missed production and delivery
deadlines. Now more than ever before, you need to be current on foreign customs
laws and what they mean for your company's worldwide compliance and sourcing
efforts.
Its 3rd successful year, the ACI's "Advanced
Forum on Global Customs Compliance" is an event that international trade compliance
professionals rely on for comprehensive, insightful and practical guidance
on global customs compliance issues.
The accompanying publication is a collection of presentations, filled with the practical perspectives of seasoned corporate global compliance
executives from companies such as Hewlett-Packard, General
Electric, Cisco
Systems, Royal Phillips Electronics, Alcatel
Submarine Networks, Dresser, Microsoft,
Philips International, Mattel and Nissan
Motor. Get an update on key import
and customs developments in Asia, Latin America and Europe, and learn how industry
is setting up internal controls to comply in this constantly changing global
legal landscape. This year's agenda will include the latest information
on:
- Assessing the security of your foreign vendors' facilities
- Getting goods in and out of India
- How to adapt to port of entry differences and expedite clearance
in key Chinese ports
- Addressing customs issues directly with foreign governments
- Key customs developments in South-East Asia, Latin America and Europe
