Meeting
Topic: Tools of
the Trade: CI and International Trade Information
Companies
that engage in international trade provide the government with information about
their shipments and business in general. Knowing what the U.S. Government
publishes about your competitors and about your company's international trade
activities can enhance your CI activities. Joe Mattera, from International Trade
Information Resources explains how to investigate companies that engage in
international trade by using little known types of information and sources.
