This series will delve into trade policies, compliance standards, and regulations, including US state regulations and the implications of REACh (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals).

These free webinars are aimed at brands, retailers, wholesalers, factories, testing labs, law firms, and investment companies looking to leverage the US and European consumer markets.

On 16 December, AAFA will lead a webinar focused on exporting to the US market, including key trade policies like the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP) and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TTP), as well as the growing and diverse compliance standards at both the national and state levels. 

On 19 December, the IAF will lead a discussion that addresses the norms of the European market, including trade norms and EU trade policy, product safety and flammability standards, and more.  The webinar will also feature many of the requirements related to childrenswear, fire safety, chemical safety (REACh), and labelling.
