Import compliance is a critical factor in any supply chain, for any logistics and even financial institution. Compliance and enforcement agencies now look at everyone in the supply chain, not just the beginning or endpoint of a transaction. It is critical to ensure import-related compliance is adhered to and understood, which is the goal of this BITE U Course.
