On June 13 & 14, 2023, John Leis, Director – Client Relations, attended the International Compliance Professionals Association (ICPA) 2023 Conference, held this year at The Hilton in Toronto, Canada.  ICPA is a non-profit, global trade compliance community, whose mission is to provide networking opportunities and resources to individuals involved in international trade compliance.

Following this year’s event Mr. Leis commented, “ICPA offers its members a unique and invaluable opportunity to assemble and share information.  Gatherings of this nature are designed to provide members of our compliance community; Importers, Exporters, Customs Brokers and Law Professionals, a venue to collaborate and make sense of the high paced and ever evolving complexities of international trade compliance.  In person opportunities like these were sorely missed during the pandemic.”

Quick Tip #14
Don’t just insure the value of the goods

When insuring your freight, you are fully entitled to value your goods at a price above the base cost. Valuation of goods may include all freight charges, related costs, plus 10% (or more) to cover the administrative burden of processing a claim and to cover the insured’s profit. Since duty is still payable on damaged goods, make sure you insure the amount of duty as well.
