About the Presentation: Compliance Changes in International Trade and Their Effects on Supply Chain

Trade compliance for microbusinesses is a tricky subject - as a licensed and experienced customs broker, Kim is astute to the regulations imposed by the US Government for goods crossing the border. As a small business owner, she is keenly aware of the needs of small businesses to operate efficiently and effectively, creating her own programs to smooth costs for clients in providing required customs services. Kim believes that only by working together, rather than separately, can the client achieve their global expansion goals.
