In this episode, I visit with Gar Hurst a partner at Givens and Johnston. Gar and the firm specialize on import control issues. Today we take a major issue that is bedeviling companies in the Port of Houston and elsewhere, wood packaging issue. We explore why it is the biggest threat to importations you have never heard about. It turns out that import laws and regulations have substantial impact on export control, AML and ABC compliance.
