Today's complex world of global sourcing precipitates the need for total control of your supply chain. No longer does this simply entail managing the flow of goods, but also managing from whom you choose to purchase those goods, as well as how that commercial information is reported to US Customs & Border Protection. In the post 9/11 environment, the import process has become more regulated than ever before, with CBP concentrating on both compliance and security.

Laufer Group International has comprehensive customs brokerage and international trade consulting services to be your true brokerage service partner and to help guard against the potential risks associated with sourcing globally.
