2014 C-TPAT Conference Recap – Time to Join or Cancel?

The 2014 CTPAT Conference was held in San Antonio, Texas this year – barely. http://www.customsandinternationaltradelaw.com/2014/07/articles/import/time-to-register-2014-c-tpat-conference/

I was hoping for a lengthy dialogue on the status of the “Trusted Trader” pilot program – but, it barely received a notable mention. http://www.customsandinternationaltradelaw.com/2014/06/articles/import/are-you-a-trusted-trader-c-tpat-is-no-longer-enough/

2013 highlights included: http://www.customsandinternationaltradelaw.com/2013/01/articles/c-tpat/what-you-missed-at-the-c-tpat-conference/

So, in 2014… What’s new?

CBP plans to utilize the Centers of Excellence and Expertise […]
