Home » Tripartite seminar between US, Canadian and Mexican Customs Agencies

Mexican, US and Canadian Customs authorities are making progress harmonizing border management policies and procedures, and this has led US Customs to introduce a tripartite seminar, modeled on Customs popular Trade Symposium, to keep Customs brokers and freight specialists aware regarding their joint efforts.

Last week Customs brokers and freight professionals participated in a two day Trade Symposium in Washington, D.C., to discuss Customs reforms, trade simplification, and pilot programs that aim to help shape regulations.

At the conference, the possibility of expanding the forum to Mexico and Canada was laid out to help obtain the cooperation of businesses there and exchange ideas for diminishing the red tape on cross-border trade.

CBP cooperate with the Canada Border Services Agency (Canada Customs) to enforce many aspects of the U.S.-Canada and US-Mexican Customs initiatives, which are devised to make the border more efficient for commerce and at the same time enhancing security to impede criminals and terrorists from abuse the trade and transportation channels.

Dilas as a Canadian Customs broker agrees, that Customs mission of securing and expediting trade can best be accomplished through cooperation with international partners. Cooperation between Canadian and Mexican customs authorities has become extremely tight recently.

Although the NAFTA partners have made good progress on thinning red tape at the border for legitimate traders, Customs brokers think that there is a lot more opportunity out there for us to really make the globe even smaller than it is today.
