I have been asked to put together some International training for our Sales Dept. I am finally making some headway with the VP of Sales and they are very interested in educating their sales teams in their responsibilities of dealing with export sales. Does anyone have any kind of power point presentation or outline of […]
I am implementing a company-wide trade compliance program across seven independent divisions. All exports are handled by the respective customer service department of which each has limited export knowledge. Imports (all divisions) are all routed through myself.

I am building my 2008 goals and training plan. I am new to customs compliance; 1 year on the job. If you were to develop a personal training program what would it look like?

I joined ICPA in 2007 and attended my first ICPA annual conference in Miami and found it a richly rewarding experience. However, I first had to persuade my boss that just because it was held somewhere nice and warm ~ we are located in northeast Ohio ~ I would be spending most of my time […]
Does anyone have a flowchart or perhaps series of questions (y/n) they use in training personnel on how to determine country of origin of an item? I would perfer not NAFTA or FTA related but I would love anything.

In addition to import and export compliance, my group handles Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) activities. I have been unsuccessful in finding training seminars that address MSDS topics. Does anyone have suggestions for MSDS training? Seminars, Conferences, Online resources, etc.
