BRC Blast: Foreign business travel
October 3, 2016 •
Are you planning a trip out of the country on UC business? This month’s BRC Blast (PDF) provides a few quick tips on how to prepare for foreign business travel.
What is a BRC Blast? The first week of each month the Business Resource Center (BRC) publishes a guide with tips, tricks and helpful information. Previous Blasts have covered such topics as how to set up an annual purchase order for recurring charges or how to expedite your travel reimbursements. Check out the Blast Archives to access Blasts from the past, which are available for easy reference in PDF form on our website.

In addition consider applying for Global Entry

to bypass the custom line upon return to USA.
Or as an immediate and free alternative add the Mobile Passport app

to your phone. I was able to use this to skirt the long Customs and Border Protection line at Boston Logan by using the free Mobile app and entry at the Crew pass through area.
