00:00:03.336 --> 00:00:05.463
My name is Mahmoud Hassan.

00:00:05.463 --> 00:00:08.383
I am an assistant director
with the National Threat

00:00:08.383 --> 00:00:10.343
Analysis Division

00:00:11.594 --> 00:00:13.888
In the case
of a part of the United States,

00:00:14.139 --> 00:00:18.518
anything that is imported from a foreign
manufacturer is is considered

00:00:18.727 --> 00:00:21.688
international trade,
whether it's import or exporter.

00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:26.109
We understand the reasons

00:00:26.109 --> 00:00:30.905
behind the rules and regulations
where we're not just applying them.

00:00:30.905 --> 00:00:32.615
We understand.

00:00:32.615 --> 00:00:36.745
For example, we understand why there's
an anti-dumping countervailing duty case.

00:00:36.745 --> 00:00:41.207
It's it's it's to level the playing field
with the domestic manufacturers

00:00:41.207 --> 00:00:42.792
and foreign manufacturers.

00:00:42.792 --> 00:00:45.170
And we have an extra enthusiasm
to do our job

00:00:45.170 --> 00:00:47.922
very well because of our understanding
of the regulations

00:00:47.922 --> 00:00:52.093
and what it does to those that are
that are impacted.

00:00:52.093 --> 00:00:55.555
If we don't enforce those regulations.

00:00:56.347 --> 00:00:58.016
I love my job.

00:00:58.016 --> 00:01:01.686
This is to me,
it's the best job in all of customs.

00:01:01.686 --> 00:01:05.899
And everything
that I see is like a puzzle.

00:01:06.316 --> 00:01:10.278
And I, you know, sit down
and I, you know, take into account

00:01:10.528 --> 00:01:15.492
the resources and the research
and and do my best to solve the puzzles.

00:01:18.119 --> 00:01:18.578
I came

00:01:18.578 --> 00:01:22.207
in to Customs and Border Protection
as a new employee.

00:01:22.749 --> 00:01:25.877
So my experience

00:01:26.711 --> 00:01:29.464
is in the health care
industry and auditing.

00:01:29.881 --> 00:01:35.845
And so this is a totally different world
for me because it's a different industry.

00:01:35.887 --> 00:01:40.016
I feel like I can contribute
more to the to the better good of everyone

00:01:40.350 --> 00:01:43.520
as opposed to in the private sector
where you're basically working

00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:46.272
for the shareholders,
which is not necessarily a bad thing.

00:01:46.689 --> 00:01:48.316
It's just that sometimes you lose

00:01:48.316 --> 00:01:51.945
connection to the people,
you know, your customers.

00:01:52.362 --> 00:01:56.950
And so working in public service
has given me that opportunity

00:01:57.075 --> 00:02:00.995
that I probably couldn't get elsewhere.

00:02:02.122 --> 00:02:04.332
Not only are we supporting

00:02:04.332 --> 00:02:06.543
our domestic jobs, but we are also

00:02:07.710 --> 00:02:10.588
we are also providing security
for those internationally.

00:02:10.839 --> 00:02:13.800
That are working in places
where they're held against their own will.

00:02:14.134 --> 00:02:16.302
So it's a big accomplishment
when when we get our job done.

00:02:16.302 --> 00:02:16.386
So it's a big accomplishment
when when we get our job done.
