Foreign Trade Zone Seminar September 20

The World Trade Center and the Port of New Orleans will sponsor a luncheon seminar on "Louisiana Foreign Trade Zones--How Your Business Can Profit" in the Plimsoll Club on Friday, September 20 from 12:00 Noon until 2:00 p.m.

Foreign trade zones are designated sites licensed by the FTZ Board (the Secretary of Commerce is Chairman) at which special Customs procedures may be used. FTZ procedures allow domestic activity involving foreign items to take place as if it were outside U.S. Customs territory, thus offsetting Customs advantages available to overseas producers who export in competition with products made here.

For more information or to register for the seminar, call the WTC at (504) 529-1601, ext. 222, or register on-line at http://www.wtcno.org/programs.
