The International Trade Administration’s U.S. Commercial Service and strategic partner, the National Customs Brokers Freight Forwarders Association of America is co-hosting a webinar that will focus on the mechanics of exporting.

The series will consist of 12 hour-long monthly sessions and will cover a variety of topics. The next webinar is at 1 p.m. EST on Aug. 17 and will address the Automated Export System from a legal and regulatory perspective.

The series is intended to give U.S. small and medium-sized businesses the basic exporting information they need to help increase exports and increase employment in the United States. The sessions are designed to assist companies in the preliminary stages of the exporting business including those that have not shipped overseas before.
