In 1988, long before the Patriot Act made outrageous invasions of Americans' privacy an everyday occurrence, Albuquerque importer Beverly Parmentier finds herself under surveillance. Is her Latin American folk art import business, a one-person foreign aid program, truly suspicious? Or does this feisty female provide a handy excuse for arrogant customs agents to have some federally-funded fun at taxpayer expense? Clearing Customs is a fast-paced, wild ride across borders, with Beverly and her pals creatively confounding the twisted agendas of thugs in high places. ". . . anybody who loves [Carl] Hiaasen will have a ball reading Egan's fast-paced, chile-flavored, and always entertaining mystery."--Bob Shacochis, author of Easy in the Islands and The Next New World

Winner of the 2023 CLMP Firecracker Award for Poetry Winner of the 2023 Northern California Book Award for Poetry Finalist for the 2023 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award Finalist for the 2022 L.A. Times Book Prize for Poetry Longlisted for the 2023 PEN/Jean Stein Book Award In Customs, Solmaz Sharif examines what it means to exist in the nowhere of the arrivals terminal, a continual series of checkpoints, officers, searches, and questionings that become a relentless experience of America. With resignation and austerity, these poems trace a pointed indoctrination to the customs of the nation-state and the English language, and the realities they impose upon the imagination, the paces they put us through. While Sharif critiques the culture of performed social skills and poetry itself—its foreclosures, affects, successes—she begins to write her way out to the other side of acceptability and toward freedom. Customs is a brilliant, excoriating new collection by a poet whose unfolding works are among the groundbreaking literature of our time.
Customs have moved from frontier checks to audit based controls and transferred a high level of responsibility and risk to the trader. It is now the duty of the trader to identify and report any error or irregularity and to keep an impeccable audit trail from initial quotation to receipt of payment. For the business, failing to provide satisfactory compliance records will result in delayed shipments and serious disruption in the supply chain. This will in turn impact on financial performance indicators. Errors uncovered during these audits will yield heavy financial penalties and a Customs debt. --
Trade integration contributes substantially to economic development and poverty alleviation. In recent years much progress was made to liberalize the trade regime, but customs procedures are often still complex, costly and non-transparent. This situation leads to misallocation of resources. 'Customs Modernization Handbook' provides an overview of the key elements of a successful customs modernization strategy and draws lessons from a number of successful customs reforms as well as from customs reform projects that have been undertaken by the World Bank. It describes a number of key import procedures, that have proved particularly troublesome for customs administrations and traders, and provides practical guidelines to enhance their efficiency. The Handbook also reviews the appropriate legal framework for customs operations as well as strategies to combat corruption.
