FTZ/IMPORT/EXPORT TRAINING
The backbone of your organization’s ability to comply with import/export regulations is the knowledge and ability of your personnel. ISCM can determine where the gaps are in your organization’s trade compliance program and deliver training to close those gaps. Even if it is just a refresher on how your FTZ operates, we can tailor a training program to your needs.
We synchronized Sales and Marketing activities with Manufacturing and Logistics to drive on-time performance from 78% to 95% for a consumer electronics manufacturer.
We developed and implemented an outsourcing plan for a portion of an operation to reduce labor costs 60% and make the overall operation profitable.
We moved a supplier operation in-house to reduce injection molding costs 6%, an atypical move supported by detailed financial analysis.
We have established multiple Foreign-Trade Zones to reduce import costs and transit delays for US manufacturers and distributors.
We have managed projects that have improved manufacturing productivity by up to 30% and yield improvement by over 200%.
DON’T JUST FOLLOW THE RULES
USE THEM TO MAKE YOUR BUSINESS MORE PROFITABLE
Travis Van Genderen
Director, Supply Chain / AGCO – Jackson Operations
"I am not sure how we would have completed our foreign-trade zone implementation without ISCM. We have a complicated manufacturing operation with an international supply base. ISCM was able to spot and address problem areas before they became impossible hurdles. Now that our FTZ is live in the factory, we use ISCM to support our administrative staff whenever they need it."

"ISCM met with federal officials time and again to keep our FTZ moving. We really appreciated how they understood the budget for our project and remained focused on achieving our goals within available resources. I would recommend ISCM as the first call for any organization trying to access the U.S. Foreign-Trade Zones program."

Import/Export Compliance Analyst II/FTZ Specialist / Kubota Manufacturing of America
"I wish everyone supported our zone project the way ISCM does! As the FTZ Specialist responsible for administering all five of our zone sites, I need fast answers when questions or problems do come up. We get a fast response no matter when we call or write, and with ISCM, I never have to wait for my issue to be escalated! Our team in Japan reaches out from time to time as well, so we really appreciate their ability to handle our questions from time zones all over the globe."

"Our zones were already in place when we hired ISCM, and we have a top-notch compliance group that takes care of import requirements such as classification of our products from around the world. We use ISCM’s experience when we have specific questions related to FTZ operations here in the Port of LA. It is great to know I have the support I need when questions or problems come up."

"Right from the start of the project it became obvious that ISCM had the experience we needed to make our FTZ project successful. It was like learning a new language, and all of our folks really appreciated the patient way training was provided to make sure we were as ready as possible for our first day. Now we are able to run an effective zone project for our textiles distribution center, and know help is available whenever we need it."

Richard Haroian
Vice President
"Our business model requires the uninterrupted movement of a significant volume of finished goods, parts and accessories across international borders – particularly into and out of the United States - which is a challenge in a dynamic trade environment. We have a sophisticated import/export compliance group, but when specific foreign trade zone operating advice is needed, we rely on ISCM. ISCM personnel have had the practical, hands-on experience of actually administering/operating a foreign trade zone. That is why we use ISCM and why I would recommend ISCM to anyone for whom compliance with U.S. Customs regulations in their FTZ operations is a prerequisite for success."

"As an economic development professional it was refreshing to work with a company that really understood the needs of the international business community, as well as those of the civic groups and officials charged with diversifying the local economy. ISCM quickly focused us on the tasks that would be productive to reach our goals, and helped us understand aspects of foreign-trade zone setup and administration that had not been clear to us before. I recommend they be the first call for any organization considering the FTZ program."

"Jefferson County Economic Development Corp. has been fortunate to be able to utilize the expertise of ISCM to usher us through the entire process of setting up a foreign-trade zone . The team at ICSM has worked tirelessly with government officials in our area and in Washington, D.C. to shepherd our application though the complicated FTZ approval process. They also helped us understand the role of the administrator and helped us through the entire implementation process. We are so pleased with the care and time ICSM took to explain our responsibilities to ensure that we were fully prepared when our approval was given by the FTZ Board. ICSM and their team are true professionals who are extremely knowledgeable and helpful which is why they should be any entity’s first call when investigating a foreign-trade zone."

"I am no stranger in Washington, but we reached out to ISCM when we needed someone to go to bat for us with the specific DC officials that had to support our project. Ever mindful of budget constraints, we had been working independently on our foreign-trade zone project without making much headway. Things really started to happen once we got ISCM involved, and now FTZ #295 has been established to support employment in our southwest Pennsylvania business community."

"Don’t tell Sean, but most of the consultants we talked to told us our FTZ project was impossible. ISCM showed us the changes we would need to make to our approach in order to make our vision a reality. Now we produce over 200,000 tractors, implements and utility vehicles per year on 11 production lines in 5 different Georgia factories using the Foreign-Trade Zones program. They not only showed us exactly what to do, but helped us along every step on the way, and now support our growing zone project whenever we need it."
