But she said... to the point where she has defended a few clients that are doing USMCA, for example, and they are doing TerraShift for their qualifications.

Regardless of that, Mexican Customs still wants to see the origin declarations from their suppliers.

That it's originating or not doesn't matter, but they still want to see the origin documentation Regardless if you just did TerraShift.

It used to be where we do TerraShift and we're okay.

So anyway, go ahead.

You

can't, you know, honestly, you can't afford not to, right? At this point, it's not, and I've said this before, if you're going to be audited, if Customs is going to ask, it's when, right? They're definitely going to ask.

I've said this before too.

Yeah.

There has been a leak of more than 41,000, the details of 41,000 personnel from the US Department of Homeland Security, which includes Customs and Border Enforcement, sorry, Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, two different things.

But of course, Customs Enforcement is ICE, the least popular state agency in the US at the moment.

A group calling themselves the Department of Peace, apparently accessed the information from DHS and leaked them.

Yeah, this is not good news for ICE.

Yeah, well, that was an interesting time.

I actually, before I went into law enforcement with New South Wales Police, I actually spent some time in customs, the Australian Customs Service.

And I was working on the Sydney waterfront on the airport, in the airport at Mascot as a customs officer.

And I completed my probation, was appointed.

And I was working on a drug operation where there was a, A very big seizure here in Australia of some cannabis resin that was brought into Australia in a sailing boat by a former corrupt ex-police officer.

And long story short, the drugs were actually seized on a reef called the Polkington Reef off the north of Australia.

They were brought to Australia as part of the seizure, stored in the marine centre at Neutral Bay, which was where Customs had their water supply waterfront headquarters.

And I was on, rostered on duty of a night to guard this trove of drugs alongside some very, very good New South Wales police officers.

But the yacht's arrival doesn't go unnoticed.

Nervea was mentioned to us by Customs as a vessel we might be interested in.

Kathleen Kennedy takes charge of L828 ceremonies.

My solution would be to look at the actual regulations involved in the utility bills.

So my day job involves skimming through all of Customs' regulations.

So it's 19 CFR, which deals with customs duties.

And I see things that, you know, it's a dollar here, a penny there, but all these things keep adding up.

I think FIO is essentially getting folks to truly pretend like you have a detention, pretend that you have a CF-28 in a space, and truly go through.

And by the way, y'all, the CF-28s, the types of information that Customs is asking for is quite voluminous.

So if you walk that walk and then have a story to tell about this is what it will cost, and we're talking about time value, freight, we're talking about lost sales on the other end, whatever that looks like for you, walk the current state, and then you have a much better story to tell when it comes to the ask of what you need, and I don't care who you report to.

Eugene, you have one for yourself, an FIO?

Hi, I'm Pamela Marr with the ICC Digital Standards Initiative, and we have wrapped up one day-long exploration into what it will take to really drive digitalization of Kenya's international trade.

We've heard today about very strong government policy on digitalization, about the commitment of the Customs and Revenue Authority to digitalize the border, We've heard from the business sector on their readiness to collaborate and align to international standards and practices.

And we've also heard from the financial sector, including the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, about their commitment to help close the trade finance gap in Kenya.

So, given the strong... continental push on digitalization from the AFCFTA secretariat through its digital trade protocol, it seems that all cylinders are go for Kenya.
