Leverage the Expertise of Our Speakers 

1:00PM CDT / 2:00pm EDT 

Most export glossaries are not “food focused,” and those few that are, can be rather generic. With a little more research, we can arrive at an “Export Essential” glossary of terms. Not all of them apply to each type of product or transaction, however, recognizing them as required or not streamlines the overall processes and procedures and assists with meeting foreign buyer expectation.

Topics include:
• From the Government: What are AMS, APHIS, ATO, APHIS, FAS, and FSIS, NOAA and TTB?
• How about CERTS, Fairs, GAIN and GATS, 3CE Schedule B and UTO?
• Your “Inco terminology” EXW, FCA, CPT, CIP
• Documents: EEI, AES, SLI, CO, COFS, Proforma
• Trade Agreements: De Minimis, ROO, FTA, TPA, USMCA, USJTA, KORUS, CAFTA-DR
• Duties & Taxes: Ad Valorem, HS, HTS, FTA, MFN, ROO, TRQ, VAT, WTO
• Logistics: NVOCC, Consol, LCL, FCL, Density, Dims, Routed
• Q&A Session with Presenter
