About The Webinar

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has stepped up its enforcement efforts on textiles and apparel under free trade agreements.  Seemingly small document deficiencies can lead to significant duty assessments. CBP has strict standards for enforcement of claims for duty-free treatment for textile products, apparel and bags under free trade agreements and duty preference programs. Many importers receive verification notices months after the date of entry with tight timelines to respond and support their claims or are subject to CBP audit inquiries. 

Join us for a comprehensive discussion of free trade agreement and duty preference documentation and recordkeeping for textile products, apparel & bags. 

Contact webinarorganizers@strtrade.com if you have issues registering. Please note we do not take American Express.
