Supply Chain Resource: Export.gov

Ah…the internet is a wonderful thing. Within minutes today my wife found extensive information on how to attach ‘shutter dogs’ to our new shutters. At the same time, I found a wonderful site about the Harmonized Tariff System (HTS), a process that assigns a unique number for products being traded internationally. Fascinating subjects, both!

Export.gov is a comprehensive government site that supports U.S. companies that are exporting. Specific topics include international logistics, sales and marketing, and compliance and regulations. You can even get e-mail updates and opportunities to attend webinars.

Government sites like this are a wealth of information and provide excellent explanations, background, and even telephone support. Our tax dollars really at work.
