 Sourcing: Solving International Sourcing - Logistics, Finance and Legal Issues

 With more and more production being produced off-shore it is critical for apparel manufacturers to identify sources that can represent them and provide reliable representation with timely services. Additionally, with the ever changing free trade agreements, duties, quotes, customs and shipping logistics it is often hard to understand the impact of this information without getting into trouble when importing goods into the USA.

This seminar will outline some of the many important issues that should be fully understood before venturing offshore to buy goods or to meet production needs.  Insurance, letters of credit, international banking and delivery times will also be addressed.
