security systems

The IMC will host an online workshop on U.S. and global security systems from 9 to 11:30 a.m., Wednesday.

The importance of cargo security for all modes of transport is growing, a news release said. The threats are real and the U.S. government and governments across the globe are expanding existing and establishing new security, procedures, protocol and programs for imports and exports.

Exporters and imports need to be aware of these programs and how they affect their supply chain and transactions. It also is important to understand how participation can benefit your global transactions and the consequences of noncompliance with mandatory programs.

C-TPAT and other voluntary programs can help insure not only secure supply chains but also can provide numerous benefits, the news release said.

Participants in the workshop will learn how to participate, your responsibilities, how to avoid penalties and how these programs can benefit your company.

This webinar is available to all companies in the Appalachia region. Registration is free and available at imcpa.com.
