To assist you attain the last of your CPD points to meet your licensing requirements, we have put together a “triple treat” program for the February Professional Development Forums. We have THREE sessions of current interest to customs broking professionals. These are:

•    Cases and consequences
•    Free Trade Agreement developments
•    Overseas issues moving our way

Session 3 – Technical sessions to be delivered by some of industry’s leading knowledge experts. These presenters are the real deal: current, experienced licensed customs brokers who really know their stuff. In these sessions we bring you:
