Description

PHARR, Texas - Each week Pharr International Bridge holds a “virtual” town hall meeting for the international trade community.

The series is called BridgeConnect LIVE. Before the coronavirus pandemic struck, the Pharr International Bridge Board would hold the events once a month. Now, because of social distancing, the events are held via Facebook and held once a week. The series is called “The Effects of COVID-19.” 

Part 9 focused on ACE, which stands for Automated Commercial Environment. It is the system through which the trade community reports imports and exports and the government determines admissibility. 

Part 9 was hosted by Pharr Bridge Deputy Director Fred Brouwen.

The series is being conducted in Spanish.
