Committees

Import/Export
The Import/Export Committee would like to sponsor CLE activities that increase among our colleagues and other interested persons awareness of new issues affecting import and export activities.

Areas of importance could include logistics (such as container inspections and other Department of Homeland Security matters), customs (e.g., classification changes and challenges) and issues with other trade partners (especially the European Union and China). Presenters might include Section members, governmental representatives, freight forwarders and customs brokers.
