Every international corporate executive, customs broker, banker,
and attorney needs to know what the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) will mean to their business and their client's
business. Understanding the North American Free Trade Agreement is
an easy-to-understand summary and analysis of the major provisions
and side agreements of this landmark accord. It is written in terms
simple enough for the layman, but also contains the detailed
information that will assist the experienced international trade
executive or attorney. The new third edition updates NAFTA through
the 2008 US elections and the activities relating NAFTA of the new
Obama administration. The book contains extensive discussion of the
NAFTA arbitration decisions, including summaries of important
investor state cases in the Appendices. 'If you need a short, but
authoritative discussion of NAFTA, this is the place to look.' ‒ J.
Mattera, International Trade Information Resources
With the intensified focus on antiterrorism in US trade policy --
and the transfer of the Customs Service from the US Treasury
Department to the Department of Homeland Security as the Bureau of
Customs and Border Protection -- traditional ways of thinking about
customs and trade law are now out of date. In light of the war on
terrorism and the emphasis on border security, businesses engaged
in the crossborder exchange of goods face a multitude of new laws
and initiatives -- in addition to the traditional array of
responsibilities required by the US Bureau of Customs and Border
Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. While these
regulations are intended to strengthen border security, without
careful planning they may have the unfortunate result of hindering
the efficient movement of goods. In addition to updated customs
forms and helpful appendices, this third edition covers the
burgeoning area of free trade agreements between the US and
countries around the globe. These agreements are a critical aspect
of US bilateral trade relations, affecting not only duty rates but
also rules of origin and policies on investment, trade in services
and access to Government procurement markets. In sum, this book is
an invaluable tool for a host of international trade professionals
including in-house counsel dealing with import-export issues,
corporate logistic managers, regulatory and compliance managers,
and import-export specialists.
This manual is written as a guide through the most important legal
procedures that control imports. It is likely to be of most use to
practitioners who are not yet experts in the field, corporate
counsel in both domestic and foreign companies whose products are
sold across national borders, and students learning about these
complicated regulatory laws. Each chapter is written by experienced
counsel in Washington, D.C.--some of whom have inside experience
from working in the government agencies that administer the laws
they are writing about. The authors have incorporated practical
advice--"Practice Comments"--in their description of how these laws
work. It is the intention of both the authors and editors to
supplement the Manual with updated material from time to time,
which will be available online.
