Taking on a more aggressive position this year is one goal set forth by the Laredo Licensed U.S. Customs Brokers Association’s new leadership.

“We’ve always been relatively silent in the community and our presence is rarely felt outside of our membership,” said LLUSCBA president Jose D. Gonzalez.
“Now we’re working with other Texas brokers associations and the national customs brokers association, too.”

Gonzalez and Victor Gonzalez (no relation), vice president and legal counsel for LLUSCBA, were elected to lead this organization for 2010. The organization is one of many in Laredo that is dedicated to improving, advancing and adjusting international trade issues.
“We want to convey more information on trade issues that affect our industry to the City Council and the residents of Laredo,” Jose Gonzalez said.
