Welcome to D L Connell Enterprises

The exporting and importing community has seen many changes in recent years regarding both United States and Canadian Customs rules, regulations, programs and security initiatives. The changes have, in many ways, directly or indirectly influenced the manner in which we do business across the Canada/USA border. There is no doubt the introduction of such programs as C-TPAT (Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism), PIP (Partners in Protection) and the requirement for passports for all persons entering the USA and other issues have a significant impact on how we do business.

Due to the rapidly changing environment, and the challenges witnessed in the area of Southwestern Ontario, D L Connell Enterprises was developed in an effort to support companies needing assistance. The company has its main focus on the U.S. and Canadian Customs related needs of Ontario exporters and importers. With this consulting service I bring over thirty years of experience and knowledge to the field. In addition, I have teamed with other service providers that will give support primarily in the areas of US Customs, Canada Customs, C-TPAT, PIP and related services. D L Connell Enterprises is an "Approved Advisory Service" for Export Development Canada as part of the EDC Security Compliance Loan program in support of C-TPAT. In addition, D L Connell Enterprises is also a PIP Associate with Canadian Border Service Agency. The U.S. and Canadian Customs brokerage, technical support and information are provided by licensed customs broker personnel.

The C-TPAT and PIP programs are offered to companies who qualify to apply for these facility security up-grade initiatives. Some of the items offered include the following:

* PowerPoint Presentation                                            * On-site Security Audit
* Security Recommendations                                        * Security Manual Assistance
* Sample Report Templates                                          * Security Profile Assistance
* Application Assistance                                               * C-TPAT Training CD
* On-Site Training                                                        * Annual Self-assessment audit
* Pre-validation Audit                                                   * C-TPAT & PIP Consulting   

D L Connell Enterprises also offers a Basic Export Training seminar. This program provides the opportunity for customs and traffic personnel to expand their knowledge and understanding of the exporting activity. It addresses the recent programs introduced by U.S. Customs and Border Protection as well many other issues.
