Sequestration Won't Affect Roll-out or Staffing of CEEs, Says CBP

Sequestration won't effect the 2013 roll-out of the remaining Centers of Excellence and Expertise (CEEs), said CBP during a conference call with industry, according to a notice from the National Customs Brokers and Forwarders Association of America (NCBFAA). CBP also said there won't "be effects on CEE staff," said the NCBFAA. CBP previously raised the possibility that sequestration could slow the openings of the new CEEs (see 13022528).
