I have customers in Africa who need some of our food products as well as other American-made items. I have a registered import/export business in Monrovia, Liberia as well as here in Atlanta, Georgia. I'll be very glad if your organization would help me to make business dreams a reality.

How do I havé access to these training?
After you get the hang of things from the big guys. ..UPS, FedEx. .
Eliminate the middle man. Go direct. That is going to mean a warehouse for you near a port. I tried full containers only. That way you are not held up by someone else's product through customs. If you get big enough, lean on your Congressman for special consideration on duties for export/import.
UPS, FedEx, DHL, and USPS all have outstanding import/export programs. I know the query is re: Training; however, working with all 4 of these agencies can assist you with integrating import/export shipping with the big 4. Also, Sir, thank you so much for your service!!!
