Due to the editor’s vacation schedule, there will be no separate July issue. However, this issue will cover activities through approximately June 14. As a result, this issue has more pages than our regular issues. The next issue will cover activities in late June and July, but will cover fewer countries.
As you may have noticed, recent regular issues of the monthly International Trade Compliance Update have grown in size, to the extent that the contents are becoming unwieldy.
Beginning with this issue, we will be eliminating some of the material that has appeared in the past, including general material that does not directly relate to international trade, and we will be experimenting with how the contents are organized.
Your comments and suggestions in this regard, especially with respect to what should be retained or eliminated, are welcomed and should be addressed to the editor. Please use “ITCU Comments” as the subject line.
Some examples of what materials are being eliminated are listed on page 144 of the update.
