Bonnie Kersch

Bonnie devotes her time to Global Trade Compliance. As a Licensed Customs Broker, Certified Customs Specialist, Master Customs Specialist, Certified Export Specialist, and Incoterms 2020 certification recipient, she’s spent years navigating the labyrinth of global trade rules so others don’t have to. Bonnie specializes in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and e-commerce sectors, and has tackled just about every aspect of compliance, including Classification, Country of Origin, Valuation, FTAs, Broker Management, Export Licenses, Incoterms, Audits, Duty Drawback, and Transfer Pricing Reconciliation – just to name a few.

A graduate of Louisiana State University with a degree in English Literature, Bonnie is living proof that you can major in lit and end up deep in customs regulations. She’s a swim coach, an improv comedian (with timing sharp enough to survive both), and a passionate volunteer with Junior Achievement, where she teaches kids about economics and the joys of compound interest.

Bonnie combines deep technical expertise with a natural teaching style that makes trade compliance understandable, practical, and genuinely engaging for every audience. Book one of her courses to experience it first-hand!
