Why Now
U.S. tariff policy has changed many times in recent years, and the rules can shift quickly. Businesses that understand classification and landed cost make better buying decisions. We teach how to find current rates on official sources rather than relying on numbers that may be out of date.
Who Should Attend
Small importers and online sellers, purchasing and logistics staff in Inland Empire warehouses, and job seekers interested in customs and freight careers.
This course is training, not legal or customs advice. Licensed customs brokers handle filings for importers.
Where and How Classes Meet
Every course is offered in person at 255 N. D Street, Suite #200-XXVII, San Bernardino, CA 92401, or live online from anywhere in the U.S. That makes it easy for learners in Fontana, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Rialto, Colton, Redlands, Riverside, Moreno Valley, Victorville and the rest of the Inland Empire to attend. New cohorts start all year, so there is always a next class.
