The Association of Clearing and Forwarding Agents (ACFA) has taken an initiative to enhance and spread industry awareness on Customs compliance and risks of narcotic trafficking.

A seminar under the theme “Risk of Noncompliance and Liability due to Ignorance of Narcotics” will be held at the Sri Lanka Foundation Institute on 19 June from 9:00 a.m. to 12.00 p.m.

Composition of panellists and issues to be addressed will be designed to appeal to varied professional interests of Importers, exporters, clearing and forwarding agents, shipping lines, air lines, trade forums and other stakeholders who regularly interact with Customs.

“Ignorance of the law is no excuse. This means that professionals cannot claim that they didn’t know the law or were not aware of the processes. Industry awareness is an essential component in combating narcotic trafficking through ports,” ACFA President Uvaiz Samsudeen said.
