Adams Consulting Announces 'How To' Webinar for Importers: 'A Step-by-Step Approach to Implementing a '10+2' Compliance Program'

While the countdown to mandatory compliance with CBP's Importer Security Filing (ISF) grows shorter, the majority of importers continue to struggle with the breadth and depth of its requirements. The issue, as many in the importing community will attest, is not only a need to better understand the intricacies of each of the ten (10) new data elements and timeframes. Rather, the true stumbling block is finding an efficient, simple and affordable way to do the up-front work and in-house planning necessary to begin filing. Most ISF outreach events and webinars offers address only the "What Is?" issue. Adams Consulting is now addressing the more practical issue of "How?".

On Tuesday, May 19, Beth Adams will help importers overcome this hurdle by sharing a step-by-step approach on HOW to implement 10 + 2, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session. Details of the 45-minute presentation will include: the Twelve (12) Sequential Steps, hints for overcoming common obstacles, a timeline for 60-day implementation, and resources for more information.

What: "A How-To Webinar for Importers: Twelve Steps to Implementing a 10+2 Compliance Program."

When: Tuesday, May 19, 2009 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time (10:30 a.m. Pacific Time)

How: Register today by calling: 877-422-3833 or by email to beth@adams-compliance.com. Please include "WEBINAR 19MAY09" in the subject line. Fee is $95 per registrant.

Attendees will learn:

timeframes

-- How to efficiently obtain and synthesize information for each data
element
