NCBFAA Webinar: Future Proofing Freight: AI and the Human Element

NCBFAA Affiliate Reform presents: Future Proofing Freight: AI and the Human Element

Tuesday, October 2nd from 1-2PM ET

This webinar offers 1.0 LCB/ CCS/CES credit.

Title: Future Proofing Freight: AI and the Human Element | Unique ID: STR-0825-6-1179 | Credits: 1

Description: Tariffs, shifting regulations, and lean teams have pushed import/export operations to their limit. Many logistics professionals are turning to AI to tame document-heavy workflows—without adding headcount or risk.

 But success isn’t about going all-in on automation. The best applications keep licensed brokers in control while AI handles the repetitive work: intake, classification, extraction, and prep—so humans can focus on judgment calls and compliance.

This discussion turns buzzwords into a playbook: where AI truly helps, how to keep guardrails in place, and how to scale in phases without disrupting your process—or your audit trail.

Learning objectives:

  • Where AI fits and where licensed broker judgment stays in U.S. import/export to preserve CBP compliance, with approval gates and audit trails.
  • How to run customs entries, ISFs, duty drawback, and even accounts payable with a human-in-the-loop model — AI for intake and preparation; humans for exceptions and final approvals, with clear roles and controls.
  • A practical 30/60/90 adoption plan to start with one high-impact workflow, define success metrics (cycle time, first-pass accuracy, exception rate), keep guardrails, and expand—no all-or-nothing.
