Welcome to the Joint Industry Group

The Joint Industry Group is a coalition of firms actively involved in international trade. Members include manufacturers, customs brokers, importers, exporters, trade associations, law firms, and accounting firms.

JIG engages federal agencies and the Obama Administration on a variety of international trade-related issues. We work closely with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Congress to promote trade policy that supports both border enforcement and trade facilitation. See our policy priorities here.

Monday, April 13- JIG filed comments in relation to the Federal Register notice about the implementation of the revised Lacey Act Requirements.

The discussion included an update to the staff on recent JIG activities, as well as an overview of some of the issues highlighted by our membership in the January survey.
