Announcing Import Transactions and Customs Compliance

CONCORD, Mass. - Jan. 6, 2015 - PRLog -- This is a single reference source for the importing process into the U.S. and is designed to give attorneys and import specialists some practical methods and model documents to anticipate and control the risks inherent in importing goods. The author, Scott Lowden, has compiled information that is currently available only in fragments.

As Scott Lowden notes,  “prudent importing strategy is all about controlling each transaction  with the seller and any intermediaries in the course of purchasing goods from abroad. Contracts drafted by suppliers of goods and services do not usually have good outcomes when they are tested”  Lowden advises,  “In most cases you can and should make every effort to write your own contracts and take the decisions that give you the most control over your purchase transaction.”

This book  helps to navigate the process as one deals with foreign suppliers, freight forwarders, brokers, carriers, banks and other service providers just to make a purchase. It will help  make these purchases in a way that satisfies an astonishing array of regulations enforced by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Import Transactions and Customs Compliance deals with the requirements of the purchase order, the carriage of goods and related purchase transactions and then the subjects of customs compliance obligations, the adoption of policies and procedures to promote compliance with those obligations and the enforcement procedures that the importer may face in the event of non-compliance.

The book is an excellent resource and a valuable training guide for importing companies, brokers and transportation companies as well as firms practicing trade compliance  For more information go to http://www.globalpredict.com/collections/frontpage/produc...
