The NCBFAA Conference provides a setting for the nation’s leading customs brokers, freight forwarders, NVOCC’s, and service providers to gather and update themselves on industry developments. NCBFAA members also learn from subject matter experts how to overcome industry challenges! As the conference came to an end, Commissioner Kerlikowske provided remarks on his participation in another successful annual conference! This year JAS Forwarding had four attendees’ to participate in the conference.
"In Fiscal Year 2015, CBP processed more than 26 million imported cargo containers, along with $1.5 trillion of U.S. exported goods. We also collected approximately $46 billion in duties, taxes, and other fees – this highest amount collected in the past five years. And technology – which is spurring “e-Commerce,” for example – is radically changing the face of the global supply chain, increasing its complexity and challenging all of us to stay ahead of the curve. We’re using technology to cope with these changes, and the Automated Commercial Environment is a great example," stated Commissioner Kerlikowske.
For January, we are highlighting Ivel Martinez, our Air & Ocean Manager/FTZ Administrator in the JAS Miami office. Ivel joined JAS in November 2021 and has been instrumental in helping manage the MIA Foreign Trade Zone operations. She is very meticulous in keeping records and validating inventory control.
Ivel's parents owned one of the first CFS warehouses in Miami. Ivel has been in the industry for many years and remembers typing 7512's on a huge brown typewriter.
Ivel has been happily married for 28 years and her family is extremely important to her. She has 2 sons, and 3 puppies. Ivel loves getting together with family and enjoying good food.
Ivel is yet another great example that People Make the Difference!
