Free Trade Agreements play an integral part of your direct import strategy. Although it’s not on the agenda for the webinar, there will be a Q&A session at the end where you can ask any specific questions about the role of trade agreements in direct import!

In advance of the webinar, the webinar organizers ask you to please tweet your questions to Management Dynamics or World Trade on Twitter so they can be sure all questions are included.

From the WorldTrade Magazine description:

“Earlier this year, the world’s largest retailer announced projected cost savings of 5 – 15% by product category with an expanded direct import program.

While retailers, consumer goods companies and most global manufacturers have been importing for years, there is renewed interest in understanding all of the elements of a direct import program and the opportunity areas that can drive new supply chain efficiencies and boost product profitability.

The Direct Import Webinar will take a look at the foundation technologies for a direct import program, explore the implementation options by working with a global logistics provider, and discuss a number of successful case studies.

During this webinar, you will hear from a panel of industry experts to better understand how to:

• Optimize sourcing strategies across procurement, logistics and trade  compliance
• Better manage compliant orders with suppliers and plan shipments
• Coordinate origin logistics and reduce transportation spend
• Automate pre-clearance and reduce delays through Customs
• Monitor and manage global fulfillment issues to accelerate cash-cash cycles”
