About Incoterms® 2020 Rules and the Seminar
Incoterms® 2020 rules will come into force on January 1, 2020. It is the ninth Incoterms® revision since their inception in 1936.
For the first time, the ICC’s 2020 Drafting Group opened up to include experts from Australia, China and Turkey as well as from Europe and the United States. Over the 2 ½ year revision process, over 2,000 suggestions were received from the 130+ ICC national committees and related organizations. The resulting 2020 version incorporates changes in both substance and presentation.
This revision’s complete makeover of the seller-buyer obligation matching column presentation reflects the relative importance of each task. Important issues such as the apparent conflict between the FCA Incoterms® rule and on-board documentation, adequate insurance coverage, and security compliance and others are also addressed.
The removal and subsequent reinstatement of the UCC Shipment and Delivery terms make this revision particularly interesting for Americans wishing to use Incoterms® rules in both domestic and international trade.
This full-day seminar provides the information you need to use these improved Incoterms® rules to your advantage. Both the newly revised Incoterms® Rules for Americans® and the official ICC Incoterms® 2020 books are included – a retail value of over $150.

EAR “Escape Room” Encryption, De Minimis, and Foreign Direct Products
2020-01-22 13:00 - 16:00 | NVIDIA Corp., 2788 San Tomas Expressway, Santa Clara, CA, 95051
The US encryption export controls have many exemptions that allow products to “escape,” fully or partially, from control under Category 5, Part 2. Some are broad, some are narrow, and many can be self-certified, without having to file an encryption classification request. Sometimes, companies impose higher levels of export controls on products using encryption, because they are not confident about using these exemptions.
This session will focus on interpreting and applying the exemptions to various types of products, exploring how the key exemptions work.

Brown Bag Lunch Webinar: Introduction to Export Control Classification
2020-03-12 11:00 - 13:00 | Webex Webinar, CA
The US export control system follows a defined “order of review” between the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR), which can be complicated. While government guidance is available to help navigate this process, newcomers to the system are often left wondering if they have followed the correct process and turned over every possible stone. An efficient and effective export classification process also requires ongoing partnerships between compliance and technical personnel.
This session is intended to orient those who are new to performing export controls classification, including compliance personnel, engineers, and product specialists, as well as for experienced practitioners who want to review the basics and ensure they are not taking any inappropriate “short cuts”.

Hong Kong in Transition:
Export, Import and Tax/Currency Implications of Hong Kong’s Changed Status under U.S. Law
In response to recent events in Hong Kong, the United States has triggered significant changes to the treatment of Hong Kong under U.S. law. These changes affect U.S. export control authorization requirements, as well as import procedures, duties, taxes, and currency exchange. In anticipation of likely disruption of operations in Hong Kong and further escalation of sanctions, businesses need to develop contingency plans. This session will discuss different possible scenarios and compare trade regimes in other Asia Pacific jurisdictions that may be alternatives to Hong Kong.

This webinar will feature the following international trade practitioners:
