Question:
When was the last time it was updated? Most of the
testimonials are old ones so I want to make sure all
information within is up-to-date with any new regulations.
Answer:
Thank you for advising us that someone actually reads the
testimonials, we were not really sure.
In answer to your question, please find the following
information:
Our import export courses provide pointers to the places to
go to find out about regulations and such because there is
no way a course like ours can teach every regulation about
every product.
In the case of exporting, you will be provided with the
contact information for the new government office where you
can learn if your product needs licensing. For importers,
the courses reinforces your need to contact a specific
government office before making any purchase in order to
learn what restrictions, duties and quotas there might be on
a particular product.
Frankly, the course teaches you (especially relating to
exporting) that your primary job is to identify buyers and
suppliers. Everything else is secondary. And, if you have a
question about a specific process, the course provides
contact information for the organizations and/or people who
are up to date on the latest regulations, requirements, etc.
because that is "their" job.
Bottom line is this, our courses "do not" provide current
regulations/restrictions on importing jewelry or any
particular product but you are provided with a contact so
you can say: "I am planning to import silver jewelry from
Mexico (or other product). What do I need to know before I
go forward with this buy?"
In regards to the overall processes of importing and
exporting, the processes are the same today as they were
twenty years ago when I started. In regards to our courses,
the oldest section of either course is 3 years old but in
regards to the videos, some are quite a bit older but the
information presented on them are still as valid today as
they were when they were first filmed - the info in them is
solid, although no one is talking in any specific way about
regulations in any of them.
Kindest regards,

Import Export Business Question And Answer
Question:
I know you don't need a certificate to start a business but
regarding the commission fees, is there a difference
regarding the income of an agent compared to a broker on the
same transaction(connecting seller to buyer) or is it just a
title difference? Are there certain income the broker can
make that the agent can't just because one has the license?
I'm seriously thinking of starting the business, but I just
need to do a bit of research according to your advice on
the blog.
Answer:
In regards to the "title" - that is all the difference there
is - whatever you choose to call yourself. I have been
referred to in agreements as the International Sales
Coordinator, International Marketing Consultant, Export
Agent, International Business Broker - bottom line is, I
don't care what they call me as long as they have my name
or my business name spelled correctly on their checks.
You refer to the term "license" - the only licensed
individuals in import export are "Customs Brokers" and they
are not working as agents/brokers for the manufacturer and
earning a commission, they get paid to make sure all the i's
are dotted, t's are crossed on any documentation and
sometimes provide other shipping related assistance. Our
course will teach you who you need to work with to get
the deals done without trying to do it all yourself.
