International Trade Compliance Program Webinar Series

The U.S. Department of Commerce Connecticut District office invites you to participate in a series of thirteen one hour to 90 minute nationally promoted webinars beginning in early April through late May 2015.

The International Trade Compliance Webinar Training Program will provide U.S. companies either who supply the nation’s largest exporters, including Prime and Tier-one contractors in supply chain, or want to take advantage of the dynamic global market with focused training about compliance with international trade laws.  The program will also focus on the different angles of compliance awareness and current challenges facing the upstream supply chain. 

The presenters will include legal experts and U.S. government speakers.  The webinars topics consist of:

• Complying with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) – 04/07/2015

Whether new to exporting to or an old pro, through this webinar series you can learn about new opportunities to help grow your business, refresh your understanding of U.S. trade laws, and reinforce your company’s compliance practices.
