Savannah, GA - September 17th & 18th, 2008

The New Foreign Trade Regulations and
Mandatory Automated Export System Filing Requirements Are Here!
                                                           

As you know, the new Automated Export System (AES) Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR) went into effect July 02, 2008. Enforcement of the FTR by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will begin October 1, 2008. Are you ready? The IFFCBA OF SAVANNAH will be sponsoring an AES Compliance Seminar in Savannah, GA on September 17, 2008. The U.S. Census Bureau (Census Bureau) and port officers from the CBP will participate as presenters. The Census Bureau experts will teach you about export regulations, explain your responsibilities under the new regulations, thoroughly cover the filing of required export information through the AES, and make sure you understand the Schedule B classification requirements. The CBP experts will thoroughly cover port requirements and efforts against terrorism and international narcotics trafficking.

On the second day, there will be an AESPcLink Workshop where participants can enjoy the benefits of FREE electronic filing of their export information via the Windows-based desktop PC Component AESPcLink. Participants in this workshop will receive certification on using the AESPcLink program! Come learn how to successfully file your export information in this hands-on PC training workshop. All training is provided by the U.S. Department of Commerce/U.S. Census
