A special thanks to Diane Cima, Compliance Specialist, for providing some of the pictures.
Mohawk Global Trade Advisors (MGTA) had a great turn out at Trade Fest in Geneva, NY. We’d like to give a sincere thank you to all of the attendees, speakers, and sponsors for making the event a complete success.
The day was filled with insightful seminars discussing various topics such as, surviving import audits, securing your cargo with SOLAS, understanding ATA Carnet, and saving money with duty drawback and foreign trade zones. The event was live tweeted by Mohawk’s marketing team; here’s a preview.
