What are the key ideas covered in this session$$s materials?

The key ideas that were covered in todays session were the role that CBSA plays by way of enforcement, and the Acts used in the import$/$ export activities that Canadian businesses have to abide by in the global economy. I would consider the AMPS system to be the primary way that Customs and CBPO's enforce these laws by way of penalties for contravening Canada's import$/$export laws.

Why is it important to understand the material covered in today's lesson, and how does it tie to your career?

For students looking to have a career in Logistics and Supply Chain management. It is easy to see how this particular topic would effect your daily activities no matter what link of the chain you were involved with, some more directly than others. Not understanding customs and how it could your organizations operations could turn out to be very costly and disruptive to your efficiency and effectiveness.
