After a period of intense activity leading the Confederation of Associations of Customs Agents of the Mexican Republic (CAAAREM) , Miguel Cos Nesbitt concludes his presidency this month, leaving behind a legacy focused on the modernization, training, and strengthening of the customs industry.
A customs broker since 1994, with operations in the customs offices of Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua; Manzanillo, Colima; and Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Cos Nesbitt assumed the presidency of the Executive Committee for the 2023-2025 period as the sole candidate during the 83rd National Congress, held in July 2023, within the framework of the 85th anniversary of CAAAREM.
In his inauguration address, he pledged to promote informed decision-making, professional development for members, and building a solid future for the industry.
During his tenure, he promoted a strategic agenda focused on training in foreign trade and logistics, as well as legal research and the promotion of initiatives to modernize customs.
“Without a doubt, these past few months have been a year of tremendous work, with significant contributions to the union, especially in matters of self-regulation. This signing of this agreement is historic, not only for us, but also for the sectors involved. It’s about seeking joint strategies that will allow us to close the door to those who seek to undermine us,” Cos Nesbitt said in an interview.
He added that this effort has been accompanied by very specific proposals presented to authorities such as the Ministry of Economy and the Mexican National Customs Agency (ANAM) to improve the regulatory framework and customs operations.
“We are fully committed to CAAAREM. I believe we are leaving with the satisfaction of a job well done,” he emphasized.
The elections to designate the new leader of CAAAREM will be held this Wednesday, and will be decided between the two candidates: Claudio Silva Herzog and Iñaki Zaragoza.
