Background

About Rob Cook

I’m a logistics and trade compliance professional with over a decade of hands-on experience in international freight, customs documentation, and regulatory strategy across the U.S. and Canada. I've worked with organizations navigating everything from TSA and hazmat regulations to the complexities of USMCA/CUSMA qualification and Canadian CARM/CADEX integration. Currently, I lead cross-border compliance and international shipping operations for a major North American manufacturer. I’ve helped streamline complex logistics, build compliant documentation workflows, recover significant overpaid duties, and establish repeatable processes that keep goods moving while minimizing risk. I have a strong interest in compliance automation, FTA optimization, and making international logistics as efficient and cost-effective as possible. I’m always looking to connect with others in the global trade, compliance, or logistics space—whether to collaborate, exchange ideas, or keep pace with the ever-changing landscape of international trade. Areas of Focus: • Trade Compliance (USMCA, HTS, EAR, CARM, CADEX, ACE) • Multimodal Freight Management (Air, Ocean, Road) • Cross-Border Documentation & Customs Strategy • Remote Team Collaboration & SOP Development • Cost Recovery, Audit Prep, and Risk Reduction Let’s connect if you’re in the world of global trade, logistics technology, or compliance—we likely have something to learn from each other.
