In today's global marketplace it is becoming challenging for companies to keep up with the various types of origin rules when shipping goods internationally.  How do companies determine origin for Customs purposes, shipping documents, free trade agreements and country of origin marking requirements? Join us for this webinar which will address country of origin rules and the importance of ensuring that your imported goods are properly marked with the country of origin.  Many companies make the mistake of assuming that their goods are marked properly and that their foreign suppliers understand the requirements of 19 USC 1304 and 19 CFR 134.  A marking violation can be an expensive mistake for an importer so learn how to avoid them by complying with the statute and regulations.
