About this session

Have you ever been requested to help get a shipment out of US Customs, fill out a Shipper’s Letter of Instruction, deal with Incoterms or otherwise help move a shipment internationally?  This presentation will provide you the overview of the documents, processes, data points and personnel needed to import shipments into the US and export them out, including discussions CF 7501s vs. EEIs, carriers vs. freight forwarders, Incoterms, HTS Codes vs. Schedule B Numbers, freight vs. parcel, last mile delivery and much more.  The objective is for you to leave the presentation with sufficient understanding to be able to commiserate with shipping personnel and customs brokers as well as improve your ability to support import and export shipments.

Matt Beck

An import/export compliance veteran, Matt has been in mostly import/export compliance management roles since 2007, with additional responsibilities such as global logistics, dangerous goods compliance, anti-corruption & conflict of interest and business partner onboarding compliance sporadically thrown in.  Having worked in various industries including semiconductor, life sciences, medical device, test & measurement, renewable energy, electronic components resale and even at a freight forwarder and having become a licensed U.S. customs broker, Matt has a lot of experience to share.  A relative newcomer to academia, having only been with the Applied Research Laboratories, The University of Texas at Austin for the past two years, Matt has been thrilled to work with the fundamental research exclusion and decorate his office like a dorm room but has been bemused by the lack of attention paid to import compliance and logistics by so many academic institutions.  Matt spends much of his spare time bike riding, reading, gardening, playing volleyball and updating his personal website of import/export compliance thoughts and humor: www.ixcompliancemanager.com.
