International Trade ─ Export & Import

Zions Bank

A Microsoft Teams invite will be included in the email reminder sent at noon on the day prior to our time together.

International Trade is vital to the success of the U.S. economy. The U.S. has a trade deficit of nearly $700 billion. For this reason, the U.S. government, state governments and many other organizations push hard to get businesses to start exporting or increase their export revenues. To facilitate this, many excellent free and low-cost resources and services are available to support exporting businesses. Importing is also vital to our economy. It supports many jobs and industries, enhances consumer choice, saves disposable income, and is even necessary to produce many products that are exported. Compared to exporting, however, government resources to help businesses import are very few. In this workshop we will discuss the resources that exist for both exporting and importing, and steps to take to begin both.Guest Speaker – Jim Herrin, Director, Salt Lake Region Small Business Development CenterJim has spent the past 32 years in various aspects of international business.
