Compliance Assurance to Present at U.S. Global Growth Conference

The firm's primary mission is to assure companies' compliance with the federal regulations governing import and export trade activities.

Royal Palm Beach, FL (prHWY.com) March 15, 2012 - Export markets offer significant growth opportunities for U.S. companies; however, there are potential risks in international business transactions, including financial, packaging, international standards and compliance with U.S. export laws and regulations. As part of their mission to help promote U.S. exports, Saint Vincent College Small Business Development Center's Center for Global Competitiveness will present speakers from Cohen & Grigsby PC, TUV Rheinland of N.A., SBA Export Solutions Group, Fifth Third bank, DHL Global Forwarding, Compliance Assurance LLC, and others to present strategies for growing your export sales and global trade compliance on Thursday and Friday, April 12 and 13. These international business and trade compliance experts will provide critical information to companies engaging in international trade and will present strategies to help manage growth in compliance with applicable standards and regulations.

Breakout sessions will include U.S. Export Controls & Recent Updates, Export Administration Regulations (EAR), International Traffic In Arms Regulations (ITAR), the Automated Export System, C-TPAT, Freight Movement and Logistics Considerations, Packaging and Protection, Global Competitiveness Through Operational Excellence, Using Financials to Direct Global Planning, Finance Programs to Grow Your Business, Terms and Conditions of Sale, Legal Distribution Agreements, Global Standards and Testing Requirements and NAFTA..

Jim Anzalone from Compliance Assurance describes many companies as "accidental exporters". That is, they have generally entered international markets passively through unsolicited inquiries from overseas customers. While such companies manage to get their products to market, they may be unaware of the potential risks associated with doing business internationally and the numerous resources available to assist them in actively pursuing these lucrative export opportunities while avoiding the potential pitfalls. Mr. Anzalone also believes that there is a common misconception that export controls apply only to companies exporting high tech or licensable commodities. "This is simply not the case" Anzalone says. "Most non-military commodities fall under the scope of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), and U.S. export controls affect the entire export community as controls cover sanctioned countries, denied persons and entities, and certain end-uses. In addition, exporters of all commodities must comply with the Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR) and AES requirements".
