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.
The portal will be a cloud-based format that can store a lot of information and will give CBP access to everything in their system, Isaacson said. There also is a more secure business entity identifier access and more paperwork reduction because the portal can house everything, he said.
The portal also will have access to the supply chain security specialists (SCSS) and the historical record repository, Isaacson said.
