My name is Mahmoud Hassan.
I am an assistant director with the National Threat
Analysis Division
In the case of a part of the United States,
anything that is imported from a foreign manufacturer is is considered
international trade, whether it's import or exporter.
We understand the reasons
behind the rules and regulations where we're not just applying them.
We understand.
For example, we understand why there's an anti-dumping countervailing duty case.
It's it's it's to level the playing field with the domestic manufacturers
and foreign manufacturers.
And we have an extra enthusiasm to do our job
very well because of our understanding of the regulations
and what it does to those that are that are impacted.
If we don't enforce those regulations.
I love my job.
This is to me, it's the best job in all of customs.
And everything that I see is like a puzzle.
And I, you know, sit down and I, you know, take into account
the resources and the research and and do my best to solve the puzzles.
I came
in to Customs and Border Protection as a new employee.
So my experience
is in the health care industry and auditing.
And so this is a totally different world for me because it's a different industry.
I feel like I can contribute more to the to the better good of everyone
as opposed to in the private sector where you're basically working
for the shareholders, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
It's just that sometimes you lose
connection to the people, you know, your customers.
And so working in public service has given me that opportunity
that I probably couldn't get elsewhere.
Not only are we supporting
our domestic jobs, but we are also
we are also providing security for those internationally.
That are working in places where they're held against their own will.
So it's a big accomplishment when when we get our job done.
