Why Should You Attend

Companies are always looking for ways to reduce costs in the management of their supply chains, especially customs duties, and other taxes and fees associated with import transactions and business operations, and moving goods efficiently from their suppliers to their customers. This has become even more important as international trade becomes ever more complicated and expensive. Companies with global supply chains and operations in multiple countries can leverage the global free zone system to gain access to foreign markets and save millions of dollars in customs duties and import fees, and taxes, and achieve greater flexibilities and efficiencies in managing their supply chains.

Topic Background    

Most foreign countries have a counterpart to the U.S. Foreign-Trade Zone Program, commonly known as free zones. These programs often provide benefits to companies using them, such as tax breaks, that are not available in the U.S. program. This global network can be leveraged to gain sizable economic benefits for companies seeking market access and reduction in the costs of their global supply-chains.
