This is a Test: The CPSC Webinar

Because this is the 21st Century, I figured I should try more than one media. Below is the recording of a webinar I conducted with my colleague Chuck Joern.

CITBA Annual Meeting and CLE, April 21

Join CITBA for a CLE event on April 21 to be held at the Court of International Trade in New York. Details and registration is available here. Registration is a little funky for now. You'll need to click select Event in the box on the left side of the Meetings, then click Buy Now. After that, fill in the registration amount ($60 for general members, $30 for government employees) and your payment method. Please RSVP to info@thegateam.com. We're going to work on improving that process.

Come see me April 14

If you area a compliance person in the Chicago area, please come to the DiCarlo Lecture and CLE event at the John Marshall Law School on April 14. The event will end with a talk by Chief Judge Stanceu of the U.S. Court of International Trade. There will be a two hour CLE event leading up to his talk. The first panel will focus on international corporate compliance and ethics. The second panel, which I will moderate, will focus on Customs and Border Protection penalty cases. Judge Stanceu is expected to talk about the international harmonization of tariff law and its impact on U.S. court cases. The CLE event requires a registration fee. The DiCarlo Lecture, which is Chief Judge Stanceu's talk, is free, but registration is required. Click the link above to register.

Georgetown International Trade Update

I'll be speaking at the Georgetown ITU again this year. By "speaking," I mean moderating a panel full of smart people. The topic will be principal use in tariff classification. This is not as mundane as it sounds. Identifying use provisions is getting murkier and evidence of use is not always readily available. The full two-day program features new developments in the area of international trade. Plan to attend Feb. 26-27 at Georgetown Law in Washington DC. Info is here.
