Jess interviews Lance Scoular, an international trade guru about the risks associated with the importing, exporting and global trading business; and the associated rules, processes, players, documents and costs, so we can learn how to successfully sell our products globally.

Show Notes:

In this episode, I interview Lance Scoular, an international trade guru who coaches businesses in importing, exporting, and global trading to better navigate the minefield of international trade and transport safely. Lance has been involved in international trade and transport since 1968 in import/export operations for 2 Multinational Companies (3M Australia and Baxter International Inc.) and freight forwarding.

He has also been a licensed customs broker, Austrade export adviser, and tutor at a number of universities and community colleges. He’s currently an online coach and educator. Lance has an ability to share his extensive knowledge, experience and insights in a clear, simple, and understandable style that will propel you forward toward your success in importing, exporting, international trade, and transport.

He comes on to talk about the risks associated with the importing, exporting or global trading business that you have to avoid to succeed. He will also help us better understand the rules, processes, players, documents and costs, and tell us how to mitigate those risks. This is one super resourceful episode that you won’t wanna miss, so stayed tuned for more.
