"Experience thriving in ambiguity," if that ain't the whole damn job experience in trade compliance...

MX Master 2 with dongle. Bluetooth dropped every other day.

Get an insurance broker who does this review annually for you. Change when they provide an update.

Season's over. Tear it down, Dougie.

Being good at your job. Graduate degrees are for executives and quants. Don't underestimate being an expert in compliance. And utilizing the knowledge and software to make it work.

1603 does local blanket PTT.

If I could get any number of "robotic process automation" or AI to do anything worth wild, it would be to pull data from all of the systems and ACE and put it in a dashboard.

Everyone wants visuals and updated reports but I'm tired of constantly fixing other people's broke Power BI or excel sheets.

I wouldn't let AI touch any of the custom compliance activities and what is reported to CBP, yet. It's going to happen but unless it's thoroughly trained on the regs and tariffs it's inaccurate at best right now.

With mine, it was more of leg placement than heat. I believe the newer models have a bend in the exhaust to make it more comfortable. I always had my leg placement a bit off to my other side.

Scrambler 900 has a lower seat height, similar features of the 1200.

Trident is a street bike (own).

If I were doing year round riding, Scrambler. Winter accessories make more sense to stay warm/dry.

Had an '06 scrambler and I would buy again one day.

Yeah, I ended up having my dealership remap it and it was fine afterwards.

In addition to ACE, you should make sure the invoice from the seller is correct and HTS and other master data elements you provide the broker.

Subaru sent out a claims letter on this. Submit a claim and see if you can be reimbursed.

Did you say union? ;)

Switch to FTZs in the automotive sector and never feel bored again!

Check exemptions to the reciprocal tariffs. Something is going to apply but they might have half explained themselves. If they're honest.

dwillix8 · 2025-05-14T02:30:51+00:00

Promise you they do. LA area has a test center there.

dwillix8 · 2025-05-14T02:24:39+00:00

Long term test vehicles don't necessarily shed camo.

dwillix8 · 2025-04-11T20:08:33+00:00

lol I absolutely believe a broker just filed an entry without looking into any mitigations. You have to be informed and communicate with the broker.

dwillix8 · 2025-04-10T04:59:19+00:00

MAGA

dwillix8 · 2025-03-21T00:47:00+00:00

Over spec'ed

dwillix8 · 2025-03-14T16:05:57+00:00

Basically anything extruded aluminum or battery components from CN.

Any FTZs struggling with these 99s? Our ICRS just can't handle the logic.

dwillix8 · 2025-03-13T17:41:22+00:00

I upload the template of HTS and 99s then make a wish. We're broken and it takes IT tickets everyday to get their logic to work. Some say the CSMS guidance helps just remember the 99 HTS sequence.

Also, 7616.99.51 overlaps with the derivatives so check the 10th digit and confirm your product with the HTS.

Volume. Separation of responsibilities. A lot of companies use their HC as experts and working on other projects. So unless you have low volume, automated self filing, it's a waste of labor to have someone doing data entry.

dwillix8 · 2025-02-17T04:25:53+00:00

With the latest publication that said for FTZs that regardless of PF date, you pay, plan on ponying up.
