As trade policies, regulatory frameworks, and enforcement practices develop, organizations are reassessing how they manage supply chains, meet customs obligations, and respond to an increasingly complex trade environment.

Through focused, in-person sessions, the Academy brings together Deloitte professionals and industry participants to explore regulatory developments, operational challenges, and emerging themes shaping customs and trade functions.
