The National Commodity Specialist Division (NCSD), Office of Trade, is excited to present the next round of approximately 30+ commodity-specific, educational webinars to support our internal and external stakeholders. This year we intend to focus our webinars on Balancing Fair Trade, providing guidance to move forward in support of validation and enforcement protocols and facilitate legitimate trade. Beginning March through September 2025, each webinar will commence at 1:30 Eastern time (ET) and run for about an hour. We are now registering attendees for the webinars scheduled for July and will proceed with monthly registrations for the remaining webinars. We will be using the WebEx Platform, which will provide a seamless experience for you and ensure external posting of the webinars to https://www.cbp.gov/trade/stakeholder-engagement/webinars, thus each webinar will have its own link to sign in.
