Assignment 4: Exporting Best Practices
In Chapter 9 of Mastering import and export management, there
is a description of best practices that all freight forwarders
should observe in exporting products and services. The chapter
also describes best practices that exporters themselves should
observe to avoid relying too heavily on freight forwarders in
complying with U.S. export regulations. One area of specific
concern since the U.S. 9/11 terrorist attack has been “dual use
items” (e.g., cell phones being used to detonate explosive
devices).
Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:
1. Identify two (2) items that could fall under the category of
“dual use items.”
2. Determine how you, as the exporter, would incorporate best
practices within your company and in your relationship with
your freight forwarder to successfully manage the export of the
items you selected in compliance with U.S. export regulations.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this
assignment are:
· Examine the impact of import / export compliance and security
management post 9/11.
