ACHIEVEMENTS

Initiated commercial audits through targeted research of company background and historical trade practices. Prepared questionnaires and arranged methodically conducted meetings that elicited the requisite information in a manner that was least disruptive of business functions. Interviewed corporate officers, reviewed accounting records, exhaustively analyzed trade practices, and recommended improvements or corrective action. Result: Transport delays were reduced with substantial cost savings for the importing community.

Managed a team of international trade professionals. Simultaneously monitored high volume commercial imports and consulted the trade community on potentially beneficial tactics on diverse legal issues ranging from duty obligations to multilateral treaty provisions. Result: American importers learned to exercise the duty reduction privileges afforded them by law, realized notable cost savings and avoided potential non- compliance penalties.

As the designated broker compliance auditor, trained peers to perform research, plan audits, and conduct interviews with business leaders. Accompanied co- workers on audits to demonstrate effective data collection techniques. Instructed trainees how to prepare comprehensive written summations of audit findings that provided the basis for further actions. Result: The Port of Boston received singular praise for the effectiveness of the audit program that I was instrumental in developing. Compliance by offending companies improved.

Appraised international monetary settlements. Reviewed bank transfers and commercial source documents to determine if declared values reflected costs of production and were acceptable under federal dutiable value legislation. Uncovered instances of undervaluation, money laundering, and documentary falsification. Recorded evidence of fraud to establish probable cause and transmitted findings to commence formal investigation. Result: Duties recovered, penalties assessed, and American industry shielded from unfair trade practices.

Protected American patent, trademark, and copyright holders from infringing imports. Sampled suspect merchandise, quantified the scope of the intellectual property rights, and interfaced with corporate attorneys to ascertain importer-exporter license status. Upon determination of infringement, notified all parties of seizure or entry denial. Result: Prevented the undermining of competitive advantages achieved at great cost by American enterprises and deterred potential violators from contemplating similar activities.

Planned initiatives to protect American consumers from the dangers of substandard products. Conducted warehouse examinations, sampling, laboratory analyses, and decided if entry was permitted under law. Result: Reduced Americans' exposure to physical hazards and the detrimental anti-competitive effects of misrepresented, inferior quality products.

Troubleshot customs clearance obstacles for importations requiring immediate delivery due to contractual stipulations or perishability.
