Exactly how to you look at your paperwork?
Do you really understand your requirements?
  
Know the TRADE; know the COMMODITY; know the TARIFF; know the GOVERNING AGENCY
Should we say anymore?

The greatest benefit you could have for your business is training, You might know what you have in your hands, BUT do you know its meaning
Do you know all your rules and regulations...? Do you know what they implicate...?

Certain requirements must be met prior to importation. And then.... Comes COMPLIANCE, compliance with standards and testing; compliance with sanitary and phytosanitary regulations; and marking, packaging, and labeling requirements.

Conducting business on a global scale requires a well-thought out strategy that is dynamic
and capable of managing risk and the diverse challenges of international trade. Companies that want to take their goods beyond the domestic market are faced with the struggle of making the right decisions, being proactive to changes in the global environment, linking trade compliance with business needs, leveraging free trade agreements, minimizing duty and delays and staying ahead of the competition. There is also the added cost of maintaining in-house resources to stay ahead of the changing compliance environment and sustaining efficient operations. Despite all of the challenges involved, businesses that successfully implement and execute their global trade strategy see significant operational and cash flow benefits.
