SEAFOOD IMPORT
WORKSHOP SERIES
REGISTER: December 3 in Miami, FL
or February 27 in East Rutherford, NJ

Those engaged in the international trade of seafood face increasing demands from buyers and regulatory agencies. Executives who are negligent face audits, product seizures, the loss of business and criminal penalties. Those who are prepared, on the other hand, can take advantage of the opportunities presented by the changing rules and markets.

This workshop introduces a new step-by-step system including use of product specifications, classifications and databases, supplier agreements and audits, and entry checklists. Examples will be used to demonstrate how you can incorporate these components into an operations compliance manual specifically designed for your company operations.

The workshop will be conducted by Richard Gutting, Jr. and Mary Snyder, who are well-known experts on importing seafood with first-hand working knowledge of agency requirements and compliance policies. Both have conducted seafood workshops in the United States and around the world.
