Global Sourcing and Purchasing Post 9/11

Reminding us that the majority of terrorist attacks have been on businesses, international trade and compliance experts describe the complicated process of importing products into the post-9/11 US. After introducing the basics of the import procurement process through homeland security-focused Customs, they address issues about the players involved and practical aspects of tariff optimization. An auxiliary Web resource offers downloadable slides, the current tariff schedule, and links for regulatory product information and required government forms.
