Would like to share this with the Board as it makes me proud and clouds my eyes.

My father dedicated his life to his work and his achievements influenced the whole world international trade
Coming from a peripherial country like mine it is almost incredible.

My father worked and developped policies in cuatoms and tariffs. Trascended our borders and was called by other countries to develop the Harmonized Systen at the Customs Co-Operation Council (currently World Custom Organization).
He’s recognized worldwide as the father of the HS.

I’ve been informed by his friends that the most prestigious argentinian university UBA,
along with a bunch of institutions dedicated to customs, tariffs and related policies dtudies and a regional (ALAD) integration organization are connducting a seminar on my father’s works and contributions.

Am so proud.

Congratulations! That is quite an honor.

That is an honor, Nicky! You should be proud. Congratulations!

Congratulations on your Father's honor. As one that used to work in the shipping business I'm very familiar with Harmonized Codes for import / export. What an accomplishment, no wonder you are so proud.

That is fantastic! I know I would have been honored and busting with pride if something like that had been done for my father. Congratulations!

Outstanding achievement for your father, congratulations and thanks for sharing!

That is awesome. Congrats!

That's great news!

Will you be attending the seminar?

It's not everyone who can say they influenced one country's policies much less several countries even.

That’s awesome. Congratulations.

Congratulations. The world recognizes what you’ve known all along, your father’s a great man. What a feeling.

Congratulations on your Father's accomplishments. Quite an honor, IMO, to be recognized like that.

In case anyone else wondered what this is and why it's vital to international trade: Wikipedia - Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System

As I understand it, an analogy might be the Babel fish from Hitchhikers' Guide. In Hitchhiker's guide, you put the fish in your ear and heard everything in your own language.

The HS seems to be the way every country understands just what it is that's coming in/going out.

This is very cool, and you have every right to be proud.
