Essential training for the global marketplace

To get the competitive edge in the North American market, US organizations need to understand the benefits and compliance procedures for NAFTA, CAFTA-DR and other US Trade Agreements to ensure preferential tariff treatment. Read our white paper entitled NAFTA Certificate of Origin which highlights your compliance obligations under NAFTA and the definition of "originating". Remember that many goods made in US, Mexico, or Canada do not qualify under NAFTA and that there are fines of up to $100,000 per shipment for misrepresenting a good as qualifying when it does not.

This seminar will provide vital information and techniques to help you trade more efficiently and profitably in today's competitive market.

The US is experiencing both growth and changes with regards to its Free Trade and Tariff Preferences Programs; without a thorough knowledge of these programs, a company can encounter delays, lost opportunities, additional expenses, and compliance issues.


Maintaining the competitive edge by exploring strategies for exporting under free trade agreements

Many U.S. international traders are not taking full advantage of the benefits offered by free trade. Others continually find themselves being denied the preferential tariff treatments for which their products qualify.
