From Compliance to Competitive Advantage: Leveraging Visibility and Regulatory Expertise to Protect Margins
With regulatory scrutiny increasing and global supply chain unpredictability at an all-time high, compliance is no longer just about avoiding penalties—it's a critical lever for protecting margins and maintaining client trust. This panel explores how customs brokers and freight forwarders can merge container visibility platforms, proactive compliance measures, and legal safeguards to stay ahead of regulatory challenges while driving operational efficiency and profitability.
Decoding Export Compliance for Forwarders in 2025
This essential panel will explore the latest regulatory developments impacting forwarders, including the Census Bureau's proposed rule revising the Foreign Trade Regulations. Key topics from the NPRM will include updates to Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing requirements in the Automated Export System (AES), changes affecting customs brokers as U.S. Principal Party in Interest (USPPI), routed export transaction change, and new definitions shaping compliance. The session will also provide insights into anticipated actions by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) in 2025. Join us for a discussion on mitigating compliance challenges and to understand how these shifts will impact freight forwarders moving forward.
