The NAITA Customs & Compliance Seminar 2024 will provide best practices in creating an import compliance program to ensure that a company is mitigating its risks, as well as enhancing its competitive advantage. Understanding the classification process, the complex USMCA Rules of Origin, including Autos and Section 301 implications, and important developments in Forced Labor Enforcement are critical for compliance. Even minor mistakes in following import regulations can lead to severe consequences and penalties. Join us to learn actionable strategies to enhance customs and international trade practices.

Pete Mento, Commercial Director of Customs and International Trade at DSV is an accomplished economist and a renowned U.S. customs expert. As businesses navigate the complexities of an ever-evolving economic climate, Pete will share perspectives that can be directly applied to strategic decision-making. Attendees will not only gain a deeper understanding of economic dynamics but will also acquire practical knowledge that can be shared within their teams and organizations to stay ahead of the curve, make informed business decisions, and contribute to the success of their company in the dynamic global marketplace. Program highlights will include supply chain lessons learned during the pandemic, trade policy trends focused on technology, aerospace/defense, automotive, and the healthcare industry, and trade enforcement issues and policy changes that are happening around the world.

Our speaker will not only cover the mechanics of importing, including customs and compliance issues, but he will also make remarks about Technology, Trade, & the Global Economy: Supply Chain Lessons & Moving Forward. Originally scheduled to be our keynote speaker for the NAITA World Trade Day luncheon in May, Pete has agreed to join us in November to provide a full day seminar! Anyone involved in the supply chain process and importing products and components to the U.S. will benefit from this seminar. Company decision makers will also benefit from his extensive and strategic expertise on this topic.

As the Commercial Director of Customs and International Trade at DSV, Pete manages client-facing responsibilities for customs, consulting, and compliance services for the global transport and logistics provider. With over 30 years of experience in the field, he has developed a deep expertise in duty minimization, audit preparation and defense, and cargo security programs, helping clients save over $1 billion in duties, taxes, and fees throughout his career.

Following the Customs & Compliance Seminar, a special tour of DSV’s Huntsville facility and cargo plane and the Port of Huntsville’s International Intermodal Center will be available.

This seminar has been approved by the NCBFAA for 6.5 hours of CCS/CES credits.
