China’s Economy Is Expected to Surpass U.S. Within the next Decade – Can Your Trade Compliance Program Support Your Company’s Expansion into the World’s Largest Market?

Compliance Leads to Efficiency and Profitability. Be Prepared for Rising China Customs Enforcement and US Export Controls Requirements

With China recently surpassing Japan as the world’s second largest economy, the time is now for U.S. companies to strengthen their trade compliance practices in order to ensure continued business growth in the region. This is essential to remain competitive in an era of globalization that will see compliant companies gain a strong foothold against the rest.

Back in San Francisco by popular demand, American Conference Institute’s acclaimed 3rd International Forum on China Trade Compliance, will include multi-dimensional panels with compliance experts from China and the U.S. who will present practical and proven effective strategies on how to improve integral parts of your China operations, including: choosing the right port of entry for importing your goods, resolving complex customs valuation and transfer pricing challenges, and preparing for China Customs audits and investigations.

This event is designed specifically for in-house trade compliance executives, attorneys and consultants who focus their practice on China trade. Understanding the unique challenges associated with doing business in China will prevent border delays, severe penalties, increased risk of inspections and customs audits, and missed production and delivery deadlines.

Critical sessions will address your most pressing trade issues, including:

• How China-U.S. trade policy affects your compliance initiatives for your global business ventures
• Choosing the right port of entry and having reliable contacts in China to effectuate a smooth clearance process
• Coordinate with legal, support and logistics teams to work with local Customs agents during an audit
• Safeguard your confidential information and prevent employees from stealing information – understanding how China Customs is addressing piracy at the border

• Prevent expedited “facilitated payments” and unlawful bribes in your supply chain
