How can American manufacturers capitalize on free trade?
In its drive to expand access for American exporters, the Bush administration continues to negotiate free trade agreements (FTAs) with individual nations and trade blocs at a rapid pace. These new FTAs with Chile, Singapore, and other nations will create unprecedented access for US made goods to these key markets.

While the terms of FTAs can be confusing, tariff reductions put in place by the US' trade partners create export opportunities available to those who understand how these terms can be properly applied.


Does your product qualify for duty-free import?
Companies that understand how to properly calculate their good’s regional value content will benefit from these tariff reductions and improve their market access.

Exporters without an adequate understanding of how FTAs work are likely to make critical errors that could increase taxation on their goods and expose the exporting company to audits and penalties.


Make free trade work for your company!
At this seminar, you’ll compare and contrast existing and newly negotiated FTAs with Chile, Singapore, and Australia. Through case studies and group exercises, you’ll learn how to properly calculate your company’s regional value content and reduce costs to your good’s ultimate consumer.
