Sheltered International Congratulates the NCBFAA on 125 Years<\/h2>\n

On March 22nd, the National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America<\/a>, <\/span>celebrated its 125th anniversary. NCBFAA President Jan Fields says, \u201cNCBFAA continues to represent a diverse membership, makes sense of incredibly complex issues, enhances our professionalism to attract top-notch talent, and strives to make our industry better.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Even after 125 years, the NCBFAA is a stable and growing organization that continues to serve its members. NCBFAA Executive Vice President Megan Montgomery says, \u201cWhile our mission has evolved, our determination to make our industry the very best that it can be has not changed. Our staff looks forward to serving you\u2014our members\u2014for many years to come!” Congratulations to the NCBFAA on achieving this impressive milestone!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the NCBFAA?<\/h3>\n

The National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America, or NCBFAA, is located in Washington, D.C. and represents over 1,000 member companies with around 110,000 employees involved in international trade. The NCBFAA was established in 1987 in New York, and since then has become a collection of the nation\u2019s leading freight forwarders, customs brokers, ocean transportation intermediaries (OTIs), NVOCCs and air cargo agents, serving importers and exporters. The NCBFAA also watches over legislative and regulatory issues that could affect its members.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Businesses like Sheltered International<\/a> join the NCBFAA because of the many benefits<\/a> the Association offers, including conference registration discounts, exhibitor discounts, saving money on contracts, and access to resources<\/a> like the NCBFAA\u2019s Monday Morning eBriefing. <\/span><\/p>\n

A History of the NCBFAA<\/h3>\n

On March 22, 1897, the Customs Clerks Association of the Port of New York was formed, allowing customs brokers and clerks in the U.S. Customs Service of the Port of New York to be eligible for membership. This enabled customs brokers to share not only a physical space, but also ideas. \"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, on July 19, 1945, the bylaws of the New York Customs Brokers Association, Inc. were changed to include all licensed customs brokers throughout the U.S. On January 2, 1948, Customs Brokers and Forwarders Association of America, Inc., (CBFAA) was founded to succeed the previous New York Customs Brokers Association. The goal in doing this was to make forwarders eligible as regular members on a national basis, and as associate members on an international basis.<\/span><\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until June 6, 1962, that the Association changed its name to what we know it as today, National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America, Inc. (NCBFAA)<\/a>. This change helped to give the Association a wider scope with broader region designations to bring appropriate representation. Membership also opened to international cargo agents in the United States (CNS\/IATA) and non-vessel operating common carriers (NVOCCs). In 1997, the NCBFAA moved to Washington, D.C., where it remains today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
