Who should attend?
Trade compliance specialists for both Import and export
Why should you attend?
You think of “endangered species” and you respond, “well, I don’t fish for whales or hunt for elephants”. But if you are involved in import/export to to or from the United States, you can be affected if you import products as diverse as guitars, pianos, or Rhesus monkeys for research. Why you ask? Guitars because they can be made of rare mahogany woods, pianos can contain ivory keys from various animals such as elephants or whales, Rhesus monkey can no longer be used for testing and the resulting “RH” factors. The presence of one product in an import or export shipment can result in detention and penalties, as well as making it unlikely you can either send or receive the product containing these items. Don’t be caught unawares and blamed for the error – take our webinar to find out how you can adopt Best Practices to ensure you meet all licensing requirements, file all mandated paperwork and keep appropriate records.
