If you are an American exporter selling product to China, recently proposed changes to US export regulations may affect your business. Carol Kalinoski of Carol A Kalinoski & Associates in Washington, DC, has written that they will, "if made final...dramatically and adversely impact trade and finance between China and the United States and its allies."
Tom Pifer, an attorney with GRVR, describes the webinar:
"The webinar presents the proposed regulations that were published by the Department of Commerce - Bureau of Industry and Security on July 6, 2006. These regulations are in the Comment Stage right now. A finalized version is expected to be implemented in early 2007.
The webinar will cover the policy behind the regulations, as well as the major aspects of the proposed regulations, including: (1) a new license requirement applicable to 47 particular commodities when the exporter knows the goods are destined for a military end-use in China; (2) the creation of a Validated End-User (VEU) status for Chinese importers that would exempt the VEU from certain export licensing requirements; and (3) an expansion of the use of End-User Certificates issued by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce.
The audience should be able to take away a basic understanding of what is being proposed and the rationale for the change in regulations."
There is a fee. See this page to participate in the webinar.
