Despite a somewhat sluggish global trade climate, Tradewin keeps growing! As international trade law and associated regulations change, the need for trade compliance and advisory services continues to increase at individual companies, as well as at an industry level. Tradewin will continue to invest in our network and facilities where our clients need us most.

The last several years have shown a spotlight across organizations on the importance of investing in and maintaining a sound trade compliance program. From additional tariffs on Chinese-origin products, to ever-expanding sanctions resulting from the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, to regulatory and procedural changes worldwide, companies continue to invest in their compliance operations to manage their risk and pursue duty savings opportunities.

Logistics Employee: Can’t you check our previous shipments? This is not the first time we have imported similar materials into our warehouse! You should have all the details!
