This new book is essential for all business executives, customs brokers, corporate counsel of international companies, and legal practitioners who need a clear and comprehensive guide to U.S. customs and trade laws so that they can protect themselves and their clients involved in the transport of goods across country lines or the subsequent receipt of same.
