Building Blocks of International Trade

International Trade Fundamentals Course

This International Trade course is intended to provide a fundamental overview of international trade compliance for both import and export transactions. This is a great way to build a foundation towards understanding what it takes to import products, ship products globally, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection requirements.

You will earn a certificate of completion and a Digital Trade Badge.

Please note:  This course is NOT intended to help individuals start an import/export business. This course covers rules and practical issues that arise from importing and exporting merchandise and not the marketing, sources, purchasing, or other business functions of starting a physical business or e-commerce store.

What is a hybrid course?

A hybrid course, also known as a blended course, uses recorded materials to be viewed by students on their own time in combination with live interactive web-based online meetings with the instructor for discussions and Q&A.

How long is the course?

The Building Blocks of International Trade course will run for 4 weeks. The plan for each week is as follows:

1. Participants are responsible for viewing a short video (45-90 minutes) prior to the day of the webinar of that week.
2. On Thursdays at 1:30 pm Central Time, participants will attend a 2-hour live webinar with the instructor to discuss the video (Step 1) and for Q&A.
3. The participant will take the exam on the topics discussed.
4. Steps 1-3 will be repeated for three more weeks (for a total of four weeks).
