AFIA to host trade webcast

This educational presentation on exporting procedures
will feature Dr. Joyce Bowling, assistant director of the National Center for
Import and Export of the Agriculture Department’s Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service. Dr. Bowling’s team represents the U.S. when negotiating
trade requirements with other countries for animal products, such as feeds, feed
ingredients and pet food.

Designed to help exporters better understand
the process of exporting, the webcast will focus on the responsibility of animal
product exporters, explain who to contact within NCIE with questions related to
health certificates and facility inspections, and provide receiving-country
requirements, including important updates on current trade requirements with
Canada, Mexico and China.

Questions may be submitted by the participants
before, during or after the webcast. Following the broadcast, each participant
will be sent a copy of the webcast in CD format. Registration fees for AFIA
members are $275 per person; non-members $550. The deadline for registration is
Nov. 11.
