Customs and 10+2

In today’s global economy, U.S. manufacturers depend heavily on imported parts, components and finished products to compete not only in the U.S. marketplace but in foreign markets as well.  Efficient global supply chains have become a critical factor in overall competitiveness. Thus, it is critical for the U.S. government to enact customs policies and regulations that support both national security and trade facilitation.  The NAM actively works with Customs and Border Protection, the Congress, and the Administration to guarantee that national security concerns do not outweigh trade facilitation in new regulations.  Delays at the border increase the cost of doing business in the U.S. and place companies at a competitive disadvantage.
 
The NAM has led the industry effort to modify the proposed Customs 10+2 rule and continues to meet with officials within the Administration and in the Congress.  Please find below information on the NAM’s effort.
