ACI : Import Compliance & Enforcement : Overview

8th Advanced Forum on

Import Compliance & Enforcement

Tuesday, June 11 to Wednesday, June 12, 2013
Washington Hilton, Washington, DC
Join senior government officials, highly respected companies and leading practitioners at what is regarded as the premier import compliance benchmarking event of the year.

Each year, import compliance and legal professionals attend American Conference Institute’s Advanced Forum on Import Compliance & Enforcement to meet and learn from leading trade compliance executives and attorneys, and ask questions directly to senior government officials.

Now in its 8th successful year, the fully updated and highly practical agenda has evolved further to include even more discussion of highly complex U.S. import compliance challenges, along with more content on how to satisfy Canadian and Mexican customs authorities.

Highly complex issues such as valuation, assists, transfer pricing and proving origin under key FTAs continue to challenge even the most seasoned import compliance professionals. At the same time, Centers of Excellence, ISA program changes, new C-TPAT risk assessment and foreign re-validation requirements, and recent CBP penalty trends will surely impact importers’ global compliance programs going forward. Unlike other conferences, this unique event is designed to provide attendees with a comprehensive benchmarking experience, where participants can
exchange best practices and lessons learned for 2013 and beyond.
