| The American
Customs Association is an independent intergovernmental organization
providing educational opportunities and professional interaction
to Customs Brokers. Our organizational structure is divided into
two categories: Customs Broker Education and Information to the
Trade.
We are located in Hollywood, Florida, home of the Fort Lauderdale International Airport and Port Everglades located 20 miles north of Miami Florida. For contact and driving information see Contact Us.

Our
primary mission is to enhance the uniformity, effectiveness
and efficiency of training to the trade. It is also our role
to help legitimize training standards to Customs Brokers at
regional, national and local levels.
We interface with representatives from the public and private
sector to help facilitate the exchange of information and disseminate
information quickly and accurately. Our staff reviews all relevant
information from the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, Customs Bulletins
and Decisions, Customs Directives and notices in the Federal
Register. |

With a primary focus
on training and education, we are an advocate for the new standards
for continuing education and the first organization in the country
to create and advocate a formal continuing education program for
Customs Brokers.
It should come as no
surprise that our a background includes 15 years of Customs Broker
training and education. In fact, we have written courses for other Customs Broker training companies and published courses for both
the private and public sector, including four year accredited colleges.
The owners of the top three Custom Broker License training companies
obtained their license as a direct result of being one of our former
students.
Facilitating
information and educational opportunities includes our valuable
partners in trade. We therefore have scheduled a series of public
conferences we invite you to attend. These conferences are free
of charge to our members.
We will be at the national CBP meeting in Washington DC October 2008 - Please stop by and visit us there.
