My colleague Doug Jacobson has reported on his International Trade Law News blog that The American Association of Exporters and Importers (AAEI) and the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) will hold the first-ever Southern Border Trade Symposium in San Antonio, Texas on November 18, 2008. The program will feature speakers on U.S. and Mexico customs issues, including supply chain security and other important cross border topics. The program’s keynote speaker is Mr. Brad Skinner, director of CBP’s C-TPAT program.

An optional Harmonized Tariff Schedule training program will be held on November 19, 2008.
