Pete Mento
DSV
Director-Customs and Trade Services
As the Director of Customs and Trade Services at DSV, I manage client-facing responsibilities for customs, consulting, and compliance services for the world’s largest global transport and logistics provider. With over 30 years of experience in the field, I have developed a deep expertise in duty minimization, audit defense, and cargo security programs, helping clients save over $1.5 billion in duties, taxes, and fees throughout my career.
I also provide powerful and up-to-date information to our clients on geopolitics, trade, and economics through live and remote seminars, leveraging my academic background in trade theory and government from Harvard University. I am passionate about creating and delivering innovative and effective solutions for the most complex and challenging issues in international trade. I am honored to serve as a committee member of the National Shippers Advisory Committee at the Federal Maritime Commission, representing the viewpoints of my organization and the trade community on policies relating to the international ocean freight delivery system.
