I can help to steer you through the many hurdles and questions you may have in how do I handle that order from another country like payment, patents, shipping and customs etc.I very much enjoy speaking with business both start-ups and established and have been doing this for over 45 years. I understand the issues that a business goes through hurdles and questions you may have as you look at expanding, especially in exporting or importing. I have worked in over 35 countries with small medium and large U.S. firms involved in both consumer goods, aviation, defense items and technology. I retired with the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security where I was involved in outreach to the business community on export control regulations and licenses needed to sell overseas.This involved speaking and training to specific companies as well as having 2-3 day workshops. My work at the department also involved informing businesses of export promotion programs.In the private sector I developed market research and market entry strategy plans to expand overseas. Recently I have conducted workshops titled ‘Expanding Your International Business To The Next Level” and given the President’s Lecture at a university on China and Technology.
