摘要

Along-time spokesmanfor the U.S. freight forwarding industry told House lawmakers on May 20 that proposed legislation to license filers who use the federal government's Automated Export System is a positive step toward enhancing export data integrity and regulatory compliance.rnThe 2G08 Securing Exports Through Coordination and Technology Act (H.R. 5828) legislation "provides assurance to the government that the filers of AES data have the requisite skills, knowledge andrnprofessionalism to merit this trust, by requiring filers to be licensed," testified Peter H. Powell Sr., senior counselor to the National Customs Brokers and Forwarders Association of America,rnbefore the House Foreign Affairs' subcommittee on terrorism, nonproliferation and trade.
