Overview of the day's topics.
Export Success!
Paul Jarzombek
The keys to effectively selling to 95% of the world's potential customers while staying out of trouble with the U.S. Government
In this session, we will examine the 11 International terms of sale or Incoterms that govern any International shipment. Developed by the International Chamber of Commerce in the 1930s these 3 letter acronyms are critical to any export transaction and, when used correctly, can be a powerful way to bring predictability to your International sales similar to what you experience with your domestic sales. When misunderstood, however, costs over-runs and delays and penalties are a real probability. As part of our discussion, we will briefly review payment terms/instruments/options as well because it is important to align your payment terms and expectations with your terms of sale or shipping terms.Break
Continuation of Export Success!
Paul Jarzombek
After the break, we will explore the various Export Compliance Regulations that the U.S. Government imposes on all exporters of record no matter the terms of sale. You ship ex-works from your dock and title transfers immediately when your overseas customer picks up from your facility so you think you are safe. Think again. The U.S. Government imposes U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR) on the exporter of record (that’s your company) no matter what the terms of sale are. Penalties and fines can be severe, but most egregious is the U.S. Government’s ability to suspend your company’s export privileges in extreme cases leaving you unable to sell to clients outside of the USA (yes Canada is an export) until the suspension is over.
Lunch
Country Risk & Political Conditions Around the Globe
Paul Jarzombek & Darryl Rowinski
Attendees will have fast paced discussions regarding regions of the world and conditions in individual countries that wish to purchase or have access to U.S products and services.
Country and Political Risk situations can kill deals and export opportunities in the blink of an eye. Do your due diligence, understand the complexities and intricacies of attempting to do business in specific foreign countries. Prepare yourself, sales and management and don’t be fooled or blinded by the excitement of making a big sale that could turn out to be in a minefield. Understanding country risk and political conditions to where you are exporting is a must know the situation.Break
