SBEA members can obtain discounted “merchandise passports”
If you’ve ever had to haggle with a customs officer about duties on your product samples, your laptop computer, your trade show booth, or your testing equipment, you’ll LOVE this SBEA member benefit. It’s a certificate called a carnet that allows this kind of merchandise to pass in and out of a country duty-free.
SBEA is the only broad-based association that can offer you discounted carnets and carnet packages. Click on the above headline to learn more.
