International Trade Today, also known as Broker Power, featured an article on March 12, 2015, regarding the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a massive trade agreement currently under consideration. In the article entitled, “TPP to Deliver Huge Trade Boon, but Compliance Officials Expect More Complexity,” Deringer’s Director of Customs Affairs and Compliance, Amy Magnus, was quoted.

“‘If you have a client that’s savvy and looking to reduce cost, they’ll often consult with brokers about what’s required. Brokers know what documentation is needed and how to go about filing,’ said Magnus, whose firm, Deringer, is a customs brokerage that also deals with international transportation and freight forwarding. ‘A client may say they’re starting production in Australia or starting to export to Malaysia. They’ll ask what the relevant FTAs are and rules around those, and how can we make sure the goods qualify correctly.'”
