WEBINAR: Customs & Border Protection 21st Century Framework

Join Zoom Meeting
Meeting ID: 942 1554 9346

As technology continues to evolve, so too do the means and avenues for conducting international trade. In an effort to catch the ship before it sails, U.S. Customs & Border Protection has embarked on a new initiative – "The 21st Century Customs Framework" or "21CCF" – intended to recast how CBP conducts business and manages and enforces overall trade. This initiative is in the early stages of development and adoption, and provides the trade community with a unique opportunity to help direct where CBP goes next. Coupled with more-general changes in CBP's day-to-day practices, this program will review the five pillars of the 21CCF while also discussing what importers, exporters and 3PLs may do to better-position themselves for the road ahead. This is a joint program of the World Trade Center - KC and the Greater KC Foreign Trade Zone.
