All Light
All light whether it’s a flashlight, sunlight, or a light bulb in your house, travels at 186,000 miles per second, or just over 11 million miles per minute. The sun is about 93 million miles from Earth which comes out to about 8 minutes, 20 seconds for the sun’s rays to travel to Earth, or about half the time it takes for us to do a podcast on Hot Topics I International Trade. These 15 minute discussions are available on our website under the media tab.

Water on Mars
Scientists discovered evidence of a large reservoir of water on approximately 13 miles below the Martian surface inside the pores of the planet’s crust. They believe there is enough to cover the entire planet with an ocean about one mile deep. Imagine a populated planet in the future with trade routes navigated by sub-mars-ines towing containers. The discovery is a promising sign that Mars could one day reveal the most sough-after discovery in human history. Life beyond Earth. And subsequently eventual trade beyond earth. We love the science behind Universal Trade Compliance. Braumiller Law Group is your partner in international trade law.
Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time there was a country that found a way to circumvent the import tariffs on steel and aluminum by smelting the metal at home, and then sending the ingots to another country to be finished and then exported into the 3rd country taking full advantage of the free trade agreement in place to which they were not a member. And then U.S. Customs stepped in and slapped a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum that wasn’t smelted within the free trade agreement countries. The moral of the story: Circumventing Customs regulations is like poking the bear. Reality can really bite.
Aliens Among Us
A study by Harvard University’s Human Flourishing Program social science researchers suggests that aliens may have been living on Earth for a while. They suggest that life forms from other worlds could be living underground on Earth or within the moon. Customs, DHS and the FDA have been monitoring UFO sightings over vast stretches of farm land in various parts of the US. We love the science behind global trade compliance. It’s what we do. It’s ALL that we do.
Hot Topics with Brendita
Mexico has positioned itself as an attractive destination for foreign investment, offering enhanced security, tax breaks, and infrastructure support making it easier for companies to setup operations. The Mexican government has also streamlined procedures for a more business friendly environment. Many Chinese companies are setting up operations in Mexico to be closer to their U.S. target market. BLG can help Chinese companies with their transition to Mexico.

BLG Blue
