A group of experts including Gunster Law Firm U.S. Customs and International Trade Attorney Peter Quinter, Port Everglades Port Authority Senior Manager of Business Development Robert Barcelo, Blue Star Foods CEO John Keeler, Alpha Brokers Corp. CEO Sergio Lozano, and Supreme Crab and Seafood CEO Troy Turkin, took on the topic in a panel advertised as follows:
The sourcing, importation, and distribution of seafood in the United States is regulated principally by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Providing timely and accurate information to both federal agencies is critical in avoiding delays, examinations, and penalties for non-compliance.
This session by experts in customs clearance and seafood law, an experienced seafood importer, and management representatives from the FDA, will inform suppliers, transportation and logistics companies, and importers of their legal obligations, as well as practical procedures, to expedite the entry and clearance of seafood in the United States.
This year's SENA, which took place 15 to 17 March in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A., featured a comprehensive conference program of live panel events focusing on topics chosen to be of vital interest to the seafood industry.
The more than 25 individual presentations from SENA featured exclusive information and insight from seafood industry experts on a range of topics, including diversity in the seafood industry and how the sector can best navigate current economic, energy, and trade policies.
