This is an intensive one day workshop that defines the complete import process. The course explains the import process from the time of purchase, through the transportation and entry processes, including processes necessary to resolve post entry disputes with U. S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP). It includes presentation of purchasing agreements, documentation, compliance strategies, and security issues such as C-TPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) and Importer Security Filing (ISF).This Workshop focuses on an importer’s Customs compliance issues and responsibilities, including basic classification and valuation of imported products, and recordkeeping as mandated by the Customs Modernization Act. Upon completion of the course, each participant should have a basic understanding of the import process and of his/her firm’s compliance obligations to CBP.Who should attend: important information for import, logistics, sourcing/purchasing, accounting, and compliance personnel. This is a great program for everyone who works with imports.Having staff members attend workshops like “The Basics of Importing” can help prevent unpleasant surprises and penalties. U.S. Customs laws and regulations clearly include the requirement that importers exercise “reasonable care” in the management of their import processes. This is one way to demonstrate your good intentions to CBP and other government agencies.Demand is always high for these valuable training courses, so if you are interested, please reserve a space quickly.
