Customs, Compliance & Chaos: Trade in a Changing World

In this episode of Interlinks I talk to Brian Murphy, who is the co-founder and COO of @Customs Windows a provider of Customs declaration & compliance software that automates & simplifies customs datasets for cross border trade. Brian is also the Managing Director of Global Trade Limited, an advisory firm focusing on customs and international trade facilitation.

Brian has over 15 years global experience working in supply chains in over 100 countries, and extensive knowledge of both inbound and outbound supply chains and international customs formalities.

The Goldilocks period of globalization and free trade that we had all become accustomed for the ten to fifteen years either side of turn of the century has taken a definite turn in another direction over the last decade or so. With Brexit, the Trump presidencies, trade wars, the COVID pandemic, shooting wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, and growing economic nationalism around the world, the challenges for all businesses of formulating, implementing ,and managing strategic Customs plans to ensure effective, efficient, and compliant international supply chains are growing all the time.

In this conversation Brian and I will be exploring what companies should be doing to guarantee ongoing trade compliance in their international operations and commercial activities. Along the way we will also hear about Brian's career and how he has built his technical expertise an business acumen over time.
