2015 Pacific Coast Council Mission to DC

Five CRCBFA missionaries joined customs brokers and freight forwarders from up and down the US West Coast at the Pacific Coast Council Trade Mission to DC, March 22nd through 24th. This annual trade mission is packed with unparalleled engagement with federal agencies, which are charged with designing and implementing trade legislation with our elected congressmen and women. This year’s mission was especially energized due to the urgent national trade agenda compounded by unrelenting west coast port congestion, continued challenges here at the Port of Portland, and CBP’s firm deadlines for ACE implementation.
