Strategic Priority

The success of our port relies on the efficient landside movement of cargos to and from our port facilities. That movement depends on proper cargo documentation and compliance with import/export and other Federal regulations. The critical port stakeholders who manage these freight and trade issues are an integral part of the Marine Transportation System. The JMTX will:

· Sponsor a Freight and Trade Committee to provide an open communication and information sharing forum for Custom Broker and Freight Forwarder stakeholders and regulatory agencies. The Committee will seek efficiencies and improvements in the compliant movement of freight.
