CBP to Hold Seminar on Steel Classification in Long Beach

The Port of Los Angeles/Long Beach and the Base Metals Center of Excellence and Expertise will hold a seminar on "Steel Identification, Classification and Trade Law" on Aug. 7 and 8, CBP said in a July 10 notice. The seminar, which will include presentations from technical, commercial and legal experts from the industry, is meant to "increase the knowledge level" for government officials and customs brokers "regarding steel importations," it said. This seminar "has been significantly modified, revised and restructured from previous seminars," to include "new material on fraud, circumvention and evasion, plus expanded information on current issues," it said.
