Bifa strengthens policy and compliance team


The British International Freight Association (Bifa) has strengthened its policy and compliance team with the appointment of Igor Popovics as policy and compliance advisor, with responsibility for customs and frontier-related issues. Prior to joining Bifa, Popovics was the London Chamber of Commerce’s export-documents and customs-declarations officer.

 

He primarily fulfilled a customs role and also gained valuable knowledge of rules of origin and carnets. He also has hands-on experience in the forwarding and logistics sector, having worked for a number of forwarders since graduating from London Metropolitan University.

 

At the same time, the programme to replace the existing customs system ‘Chief’ (Customs handling of import and export freight) with the new ‘Customs declaration service’ (CDS) is being rolled out, and the government is looking at implementing its single trade window initiative. (cj)
