Description: At the 2007 NCBFAA Annual Conference a representative from OFAC indicated that they were beginning to focus on freight forwarder compliance. The recent headlines regarding forwarder penalties from BIS and OFAC has demonstrated that they were serious about the program. This webinar will focus on defining what your direct liabilities are as a forwarder, how a forwarder can avoid becoming embroiled in an enforcement case, how to manage a case once one has been initiated, what your obligations are regarding your client, and what obligations you have to the government agencies involved.
