14th Advanced Forum on U.S. Customs Compliance and Enforcement

Join the customs compliance community at ACI’s 14th Advanced Forum on U.S. Customs Compliance, October 8–9 in Washington, DC, the country’s leading, advanced-level customs compliance event that will zero in on your most burning legal and compliance issues. In addition to government updates, the 2025 revamped agenda will meet the moment, with a laser focus on the latest best practices to take back to your desk.

 

The Trump Administration has whipped up a sea-change in the U.S. tariff environment, creating an unprecedented period of global trade risk. Customs compliance understanding and supply chain stability have been upended, leaving U.S. importers, brokers, freight forwarders and logistics/shipping companies in unchartered territory, with some now in the public spotlight as CBP and DOJ enforcement heats up. No one can predict what is coming next, but one thing is for certain: Keeping your corporate stakeholders comprehensively informed and your customs compliance program agile has never been so crucial.
