About The Webinar

There are a myriad of domestic preference rules that apply to companies selling goods directly or indirectly to the U.S. government. This webinar will focus on the distinctions between the “Buy American” and “Buy America” laws and policies, including recent changes resulting from the Biden Administration’s executive actions and the recent passage of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”).

While the U.S. government is generally required to purchase goods of U.S. origin, foreign products may compete in the bidding process. If you want to sell to the federal government, or if you currently are selling to the federal government (or a customer that sells to the federal government) and your products are partially or completely manufactured offshore, attend this webinar to learn how to navigate the U.S. preference rules to increase sales and decrease compliance risks.
