Upcoming Webinar: Best Practices for Managing Free Trade Agreement Management Processes

Emily — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 19:19:08 +0000

What: Free Webinar: Best Practices for Managing Free Trade Agreement Management Processes
When: Tuesday, April 19 at 2pm EST
Where: Online

Given the advantages of NAFTA and other free trade agreements, exporters and importers seek to widen the advantages of reduced duty impact by participating in trade agreements. After surveying import and export compliance managers from 200 firms, Customs & Trade Solutions Inc. and Management Dynamics have uncovered key trends in managing the complex Free Trade Management process.

The insights provided in this webinar will open the door to understanding how firms operate NAFTA qualifying programs, where the expertise exists within their firms and the savings and struggles associated with maintaining the program from year to year.

The presenters will address key findings from this industry benchmark study and discuss best practices for implementing and optimizing NAFTA while divulging key statistics, such as:

86% of all firms used a manual process to manage their NAFTA data
Only 34.3% of all companies were confident of the information they shared with Customs and their Customers through the NAFTA certificate
32% of respondents have had their customs group audited in the last 3 years

Presenters will include:
