The New Hampshire International Trade Resource Center will host a seminar titled “Export Documentation” on December 14th from 9 am to 12:30 p.m. at 172 Pembroke Drive in Concord. Registration and breakfast will begin at 8:30am.

The seminar is designed to help those who are considering exporting their products, and answer questions such as: How do you ensure that your products get from your facility to your customer without any issues? What about getting paid? Do you know what forms you need to fill out, and how? Packaging, labeling, documentation and insurance are crucial to a successful interaction with international customers.

Speakers will include Jeanette Reed of Evolutions in Business, a firm that specializes in training companies in export regulatory compliance, and Cal Clucas of Dachser USA, one of the world’s largest freight forwarders.

The half-day seminar will cover everything businesses need to know to handle the logistics of exporting, including proper documentation; Automated Export System (AES) Filing Mandate; government-required recordkeeping; Incoterms 2010 (note that new changes are effective 1/1/11); methods of payment; the Denied Persons List (DPL) and Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) lists; determining the Export Control Classification Number (ECCN); classifying products (Schedule Bs, Harmonized Tariff Schedule, ECCN); commercial invoices; bills of lading; certificates of origin; and the role of the freight forwarder.
