A one day slowdown due to ineffective implementation of 10+2 compliance would cost $500,000 per year for a company importing $100 million annually. Matt Gersper, President Global Data Mining, LLC focuses on the importance of understanding the enterprise-wide impact the newly released Importer Security Filing regulation may have on your company. Learn how best-in-class companies are funding cross-functional teams and developing strategic enterprise-wide solutions, using 10+2 as a catalyst to optimize currently inefficient global trade processes, and creating competitive advantage.
