TAPA AMERICAS EXPANDS ITS DIGITAL OFFERING AS HOSTS OF ‘THE PETE MENTO TRADE SCHOOL’ WEBINAR SERIES


TAPA Americas is expanding its digital footprint by bringing new web-based professional education to its members and the business community.


The region is proud to be the new hosting platform for ‘The Pete Mento Trade School’ episodes, which focus on global trade and customs, logistics, cargo security,


supply chain management, and economics in an informed, balanced, and non-political, humorous way.


A highly respected global customs and trade consultant, Pete Mento specializes in the elimination, recovery and minimization of duties associated with importing and exporting. He also assists companies with import and export trade compliance, audit defense, and cargo security programs. He is considered one of the most insightful and connected trade professionals in the world.


In the first episode of Trade School addressing the topic of ‘Trade Policy and US Politics 2020’,


Pete shared his personal take on all the attention being paid to the upcoming US Presidential election – which he said is, naturally, all with good reason. However, there are many other political issues in the US we ought to also be very conscious and aware of as the 3 November Presidential election day approaches. The session took a non-partisan look at how various outcomes could affect the broader landscape of trade, logistics, global security, and the macro economy.


Episode two discussed ‘Export Enforcement Prep and Understanding Export Penalties’, exploring the link between the US trade war with China and export enforcement that continues to emerge. Participants in the briefing heard how it has become critically more important for trade professionals to


understand the incredible impact these rules have on their businesses. Let’s face it, export controls are downright scary, right? Thankfully, in this episode Pete Mento helped to rebalance and remove some of the fear and replaced it with knowledge and a valuable sense of direction.


New episodes will be coming every two weeks as part of TAPA Americas’ goal to continue to enhance its value contribution to the Association’s members and the professional community.
