This webinar series will offer a comprehensive overview of trade-based compliance from an enforcement perspective and insight into how data analytics and open-source trade data can be used by U.S. customs brokers to manage the emerging trade compliance obstacles.
The webinar presenters will lead trainees in a discussion on how these big data tools are used to solve compliance issues, and how they can be integrated into already established corporate internal compliance and risk assessment systems.
