Carlos Miguel Collazo (born in Habana, Cuba on September 21, 1959) is a global entrepreneur, technology inventor, innovator and strategic technology business advisor.

International Trade

Collazo started his career working in the international trade industry where he was exposed to business and the importance of information to support business. Collazo was able to apply his core skills in technology, analytics and business development across a wide variety of industries by virtue of his early exposure to global business.

In 1980 and 1981, Collazo, having qualified as an FMC practitioner,[1] created and filed the Pacific Coast European Conference Tariff FMC-18.[1][2][3] That technical correlation of commodity classification systems for the Brussel's BTN and the United Nation's SITC in FMC-18 provided the private sector technical contribution needed to facilitate a successful implementation of the United States objectives via the CCC and the ITC processes for the creation and adoption of a harmonized international trade commodity classification system. Today, these tariff and commodity classification systems are known as the Harmonized System (HS) for Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System. The HS is the international standard for reporting goods to customs and other government agencies. Globally adopted by 180 countries and covering 98% of merchandise trade, the HS has been administered by the Brussels-based World Customs Organization (WCO) since 1988.
