How Many Hats Do You Wear?

Do you operate as a Domestic Freight Forwarder or Property Broker or perhaps both? Wearing multiple hats is not an uncommon practice but it’s important to recognize the distinct characteristics of each operation so you are properly licensed.

FMCSA Operating Authority dictates the type of operation a company may run, the cargo it may carry and the level of insurance/financial responsibilities a company must maintain. If not properly licensed your company could be subject to government fines, personal liability allegations (including principles) and your insurance coverage could be compromised.

Join us on Tuesday, April 17th at 1pm CT for this one hour complimentary webinar and earn NEI CCS/CES credit as applicable. You should attend if you are an owner, operations manager or risk manager for a freight forwarder, property broker or a carrier operation.

On March 22nd, the FTA and Roanoke’s Amanda Barlow will present a timely seminar about ATA Carnets. An ATA Carnet is an international customs document that provides duty-free customs clearance for temporary exports into over 100 countries. ATA Carnets simplify these temporary exports by eliminating the need to post a temporary import bond or pay the import duties and taxes to enter a foreign country. Virtually all goods, whether hand carried or cargo-shipped, may be covered by ATA Carnets.

Don’t miss this event! Registration commences and a continental breakfast will be served starting at 8:30am at the Courtyard Marriott in Downtown Long Beach. Click here for more information.

Join speakers David Jordan of Roanoke Trade and Susan Kohn Ross of Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP, for this informative seminar concerning Antidumping and Countervailing Duty (ADD/CVD) issues hosted by the CBFANC on Wednesday, February 21st from 8am-12pm (PT).

When the Department of Commerce finds that imported merchandise was sold in the U.S. at an unfairly low or subsidized price, to level the playing field for U.S. companies injured by these unfair trade practices, ADD/CVD is imposed. When that happens, CBP is responsible for collecting the ADD/CVD in a timely manner. As a Priority Trade Issue, CBP’s goal is collect the proper amounts, which includes to detect and deter circumvention of the ADD/CVD law, and to liquidate final duties timely and accurately, while at the same time facilitating legitimate trade.

Agenda:

• General overview about ADD and CVD
• ADD/CVD Issues from a CBP Standpoint
• ADD/CVD Underwriting Concerns – A Brief Refresher
• ADD/CVD Complicating the Importer/Broker/Surety Equation
• The “Collateral Curse”
• ADD/CVD and Customs Broker Errors & Omissions
