Export Compliance Daily combines U.S. export control news, foreign border import regulation and policy developments into a single daily information service that reliably informs its trade professional readers about important current issues affecting their operations.
COAC is asking importers, exporters, and their service providers to respond to this survey, said CBP. The survey allows for multiple responses from the same entity. It consists of multiple choice questions that request information on a number of issues, including exam rates, estimated cost of doing business, time expenditures, satisfaction level with CBP and PGAs. The survey takes 20 minutes to complete. Results will be shared in upcoming COAC meetings. The 2013 survey found that cargo processing delays and exams continue to be the largest challenge faced by importers and brokers (see 13111322).
