ASA will be at the Air Carrier Purchasing Conference (ACPC) in Washington, DC this weekend and next week. Look for us all weekend long, but we hope to see you all on Monday during our FREE classes!.
On Monday, August 12, 2019, Jason Dickstein will teach three professional development classes at ACPC that will be useful for the aircraft parts community. The first, in the morning, will focus on what we expect out of Brexit, and how it will impact global aircraft parts transactions. The second, after lunch, will discuss import law – as the US imposes new tariffs on imported aircraft parts, it is important to understand your compliance obligations as well as the duties you need to pay on the imported parts. Finally, the third session will look at a number of parts issues documentation issues, including both recent and impending regulations that are changing the parts transactional paradigms.
Read on for expanded descriptions, below!
Monday 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM
Doing Business in the Post-Brexit World
Brexit is almost upon us…. Maybe. We will discuss what factors to watch as the world approaches the current Brexit deadline, what the aircraft parts community should anticipate under several different Brexit possibilities, what aviation negotiations are going on behind-the-scenes and how to protect yourself from the worst-case scenarios.
Monday 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Import Law for Aviation Professionals: From Harmonized Tariffs to Country of Origin
Most aircraft parts are usually imported “duty-free” and this can give us a distorted view of import law; a view that is upset when you receive ab unexpected bill for import duties. With existing China tariffs and proposed tariffs on Airbus parts, many aircraft parts importers are facing unwanted surprises in the form of import duties. We will examine the process for importing, how to classify your imports, and how to identify the tariff and related import duties for your import.
If you import parts, then tariff duties can have a direct impact on your bottom line – this session will help you to avoid surprises.
Monday 3:15 PM – 4:15 PM
How Do International Agreements (like the MAG) Affect Aircraft Parts Transactions?
The rules for aircraft parts transactions are changing! This session will begin with an examination of the relationships between international agreements and acceptance of traceability documents, but it will also address recent and impending rule and policy changes that could significantly affect the documentation requirements for aircraft parts transactions. If you have questions about documentation and international transactions, then this is the place for answers.
