Event Summary:
If you were unable to participate in any of the live webinars we held between January and March covering a number of issues relating to the basics of Exporting, we have the next best thing. Or, perhaps you participated but would like to have a permanent copy for your reference. The webinar series has been captured on CD and we are making the entire series available for $125.00. That's like getting one session free. In addition, we'll include two publications that nicely compliment the series, including our 2008 Basic Guide to Exporting, and our Trade Finance Guide: A Quick Reference for U.S. Exporters.

Participants will receive an introduction to six important topics related to exporting:

� Session 1 offers a checklist for ensuring proper classification of products for export/import. Plus, a leading Midwest manufacturer will share best practices and insights based on their experiences.

� Session 2 describes the roles that each party has in the export transaction, with a focus on the role of the freight forwarder. Plus, learn what documents are required to minimize the risk of delays in international shipments.

� Session 3 profiles all 13 Incoterms with an emphasis on minimizing your costs and risks as an exporter.

� Session 4 outlines the common international methods of payment used in global trade and risk mitigation tools.

� Session 5 identifies some of the tools available to increase site visibility and usability to foreign buyers, and key issues to consider when trying to �internationalize� your website.

� Session 6 outlines the exporter's responsibilities in a transaction, minimum filing and record keeping obligations and tips on a compliance manual. Also find out about the latest export controls and if they affect your transaction.

In addition we'll include the newly updated Basic Guide to Exporting!

The only real difference between the CDs and the live webinar is that you don't have the ability to ask questions on the spot. But, please feel free to contact our featured speaker(s) directly if you find you have specific questions, or contact your local trade specialist for assistance.
