Overview
The events of September 11, 2001 forever changed the dynamics of importing and exporting products into the United States. This privilege, which can be revoked for non-compliance, has been made dramatically more complex and expensive by the numerous new rules, regulations, laws and requirements of various agencies. This comprehensive reference provides innovative purchasing, logistics and supply chain management techniques for acquiring customers, reducing costs and improving end-to-end supply chain performance while ensuring required compliance.Synopsis
Reminding us that the majority of terrorist attacks have been on businesses, international trade and compliance experts describe the complicated process of importing products into the post-9/11 US. After introducing the basics of the import procurement process through homeland security-focused Customs, they address issues about the players involved and practical aspects of tariff optimization. An auxiliary Web resource offers downloadable slides, the current tariff schedule, and links for regulatory product information and required government forms.
