Dewain Smith Email & Phone Number

Logistics and Trade Compliance Professional with over 20 years experience dealing with all aspects of material and freight management.I've worked closely with US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). I was known for reducing costs when I worked with Flextronics and GolfSmith, mitigating penalties with US Customs, collecting $300k+ in recoverable US Customs duties, and saving $200k+ in freight costs through organized communication and tracking the small details that make a huge difference when working with a 3rd party payables agent.I'm a lifelong experiential learner. I make it my business to learn something from every person I work with, and to familiarize myself with the operations of all relevant partners. I get along with everyone, especially those whose work ethics I admire.I've created and implemented consolidation strategies internationally and domestically, and bring with me a wealth of freight forwarding expertise.At the beginning of every new project, I have the bottom line in mind but focus on compliance first. I set up and maintain standard compliance practices, and then build in my true value: providing a layer of additional relief for organizational leaders so they can sleep better at night and focus on long term financial growth.
