Sole compliance person for a chemicals distributor in Rotterdam. If it has a CAS number, I have probably argued about its HS code.

Q&A thread: CBAM Definitive Period webinar, post your questions earlyAdding a pre-submitted question: for composite goods where only the steel fraction is CBAM-covered, is the emissions calculation on the whole article weight or the covered fraction only? Our supplier's mill cert covers the coil, not the finished bracket.

Smart thermostat classification: 8537 or 9032? CBP just questioned our rulingThank you. Pulling NY N305789 now. Did CBP push back on the app-control point specifically, or did it never come up?

Moved from freight ops into compliance: how do I get management to take the function seriously?Honest answer: what changed it for me was an incident. A misclassification found in a supplier audit, I turned the postmortem into a board slide showing the near-miss cost vs the cost of doing it right. Budget appeared within a quarter. Don't wait for your incident, but if one happens, don't waste it.
