Why should you attend?
You should attend to learn about the important means of international transportation and delivery. The advantages of doing so for inbound or outbound mail shipments are convenience (you do not need to personally clear packages since the U.S. Postal Service and CBP do the processing), saving money (traditional mail charges on small, low-value packages sent through international mail is inexpensive), and easy payment of any duties due (you pay the mail carrier all applicable duties).
Rid yourself of any fear, uncertainty or doubt concerning importing or exporting via U.S. Mail or express consignment. Learn how to save time and money by using the correct procedures.
