Key Take Away :This webinar is designed to address how the impact of Multiple Free Trade Agreements will influence the merchant’s duty rates and their resources allocation, production, and trade patterns by focusing on the duty management roles when it relates to the importer in understanding how to reduce taxes and tariff costs in the geopolitical international trading environment.Overview :Manufacturing in Mexico as a Maquiladora under the IMMEX program (formally known as the Maquiladora Program) can offer tremendous benefits for virtually any foreign manufacturer, especially those selling into the North American market (North American free trade agreement certificate of origin). Established in 1965 by the Mexican government to reduce unemployment along the borders, the Maquiladora program offers foreign companies easy access to inexpensive labor, favorable tax benefits and special import/export terms via some 44 free trade treaties and agreements with countries around the world. The IMMEX program, however, requires companies to follow strict regulations and compliance, especially in the areas of Customs (Import/Export) and Accounting. A strong administrative team is highly recommended.Mexico's IMMEX program is defined as an instrument to temporarily import goods and services that will be manufactured, transformed, or repaired, and then re-exported without payment of taxes, compensatory quotas, and other specific benefits. In the past there used to be two separate programs in Mexico; Pitex for 'temporary' imports and exports, and the Maquila program for maquila-specific operations. The new IMMEX program consolidates the benefits of these legacy programs and facilitates interaction with government authorities to operate under the program.The main benefit of the IMMEX program is the ability to defer taxes on goods that are temporarily imported into Mexico and the ability to consolidate import declarations. Mexico's IMMEX program is defined as an instrument to temporarily import goods and services that will be manufactured, transformed, or repaired, and then re-exported without payment of taxes, compensatory quotas, and other specific benefits. Recently Mexico Prohibited Use of U.S. Re-Export Sugar in IMMEX Program.Why Should You Attend :The Mexican Maquiladora/PYTEX programs have evolved over the past 60 plus years into today's IMMEX (IndustriaManufacturera, Maquiladora y Servicios de Exportacion) program. It allows qualifying companies a greater range of activities they can take part within the Mexican territory. Given its temporary imports under bond options, this program has a rigorous documentation maintenance requirement. It will review this special regime's bonded production/assembly options, how you can best take advantage of it and how to maintain it.As importers or exporters, we must learn how to manage costs attributed to duties that can be imposed by the customs authority of the transactional region. In doing so, importers and exporters must not only rely on the customs authorities to inform them about the duty management requirements for each trade agreement that might alert them to allowances that applied to their business goods. This trade agreement review process will explain the merchants’ responsibility in understanding and use the various duty management options in compliance with multilateral trade agreements. For this reason, the duty management role in the reviewing and assessing the trade barriers that are associated with quotas, nontariff, punitive damages and special duties that were designed by the country of origin to restrict trade and increase coordination costs for their benefits. Thus, it is imperative that merchants have agood understanding of trade agreements and duty compliance processes, which can lead to legal and coordination challenges that might cause in delaying their product entire into the marketplace.Areas Covered In This Webinar :Brief historyMaquiladora formation and regulationsIMMEX registration requirementsNorth American Free Trade Agreement Certificate of Origin FormCombining IMMEX and NAFTAAnnex 24 & 31- IMMEXEligible operationsBenefitsProgram cancellationsMexican FTAsGain awareness for the regimeUnderstand its requirementsRecognize the program's benefitsDistinguish the program's obstacles and resource requirementsBe aware of the penalties and program cancellationsLearning Objectives :Aim of the IMMEX programWho is eligible to obtain an IMMEX programHow to manage an IMMEX programNon-tariffs measures applicationIMMEX obligationsDifference between IMMEX and other Export promotion programsHow the FTA's affected the application of import tariffs to IMMEX importationsCustoms Value on IMMEX operationsWho Will Benefit :CFOsTrade and Finance ControllersLogistics ProfessionalsPlant ManagersSupply Chain ProfessionalsSourcing SpecialistsShipping/Receiving StaffProcurement AnalystsGlobal Trade ManagersIntegration ManagersRisk Management ManagersDecision MakersFor more information, please visit : http://www.atozcompliance.com/trainings-webinar/cross-industry-functions/trade-and-logistics/north-american-free-trade-agreement-immex/dr-rossano-v-gerald/300233?utm_source=ref&utm_medium=08MarchEmail: supportatozcompliance.com Toll Free: +1- 844-414-1400Tel: +1-516-900-5509Level: IntermediateSpeakers Profile :Dr. Rossano V.
