Seminars – Importing Food Into the United States
The Customs and International Trade Department of the law firm of Becker & Poliakoff* regularly holds workshops. Attendees learn the most recent information regarding compliance with the import and export requirements of the various Federal agencies of the United States Government. Our next workshops will focus on one of my favorite subjects – FOOD, and its increasing regulation by the FDA. The workshops take place in both Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
