A SMOOTHER ROAD TO EXPORTING VEHICLES: CBP’S NEW ELECTRONIC VALIDATION EXPORT PROGRAM

E-COMMERCE’S DISRUPTION TO COMPLIANCE
Cross border e-commerce is growing faster than e-commerce as a whole. This creates great opportunities for e-tailers and for the parcels industry. However, it results in more complex logistics chains and the need to re-think approaches to issues such a customs, duties and taxes. In this context, three service providers outlined their strategies to encourage cross border growth. The fourth presenter, our very own Jennifer Diaz, a leading expert on trade law spoke on trade as it affects our industry at the World Mail & Express Americas Conference.
