Importing is Not for Cowards with Maersk’s Janet Labuda

Everything is Logistics

Janet Labuda spent more than 30 years in U.S. Customs before leading up Customs and Trades Issues at Maersk Customs Services.
She joins the podcast to talk about how to build a compliance department alongside AI in order to keep your company ahead of regulations, tariffs, and more.
It’s a fun conversation for the folks who (like me) only have experience with Customs by watching the TV show To Catch a Smuggler (which is also referenced a lot in this episode). Hope you enjoy the convo as much as I did.
