LARExC Regional Export Training & Assistance Program Workshop
The Regional Export Training & Assistance Program (RETAP) helps small and mid-sized businesses gain practical tools and strategies for expanding their business into international markets. RETAP is a no-cost, in-depth training series that assists businesses in navigating the export process, connecting with global opportunities, and increasing sales abroad.
Workshop 6, held on April 23, will deal with how to protect against potential export threats from cyberattacks, intellectual property theft, and demands for bribes. It also covers U.S. and foreign trade regulations requiring compliance at both ends. These include U.S. requirements to export the product (e.g. U.S. export controls for national security or health and safety purposes), as well as tariff and non-tariff barriers to import the product in the destination country. This workshop further covers means such as mediation and arbitration to resolve commercial disputes.
