Why should you take this training?

In a limited and increasingly competitive local market, it is essential for companies to stand out and become internationally oriented. As the number one destination for Quebec exports, the United States is the market of choice for SMEs looking to go international.

When it comes to exporting to the United States, several questions might come up regarding the classification of goods, regulations surrounding certain products, norms, and labelling.

As exporters, our companies are responsible by law for any possible errors in the customs clearance of goods, even if they go through a broker. Non-compliant customs documents can result in significant financial penalties.

On October 30, come spend the day at the American border with our Acclr experts. During the training session, they will ensure that you get all the essential details and procedures to ensure successful exports or your personnel across the US border.
