January 21, 09
The Jewelers Vigilance Committee (JVC) will hold a seminar on the implementation of the JADE Act which allows trade in rubies and jade from non-Burma sources.
The seminar, together with another one about memo transactions, will be held at The American Gem Trade Association (AGTA) GemFair Tucson at the Tucson Convention Center.
Titled “Burma And Beyond - Operating Your Business In Today’s New Regulatory Environment,” will provide updated information on the implementation of the recent Tom Lantos JADE Act, the importation and distribution in the U.S. of irradiated gemstones and much more, JVC said in a release.
An international trade specialist from U.S. Customs and Border Protection will be on-hand to answer questions, and helpful written materials will be available.
JVC will also hold its “The Basics of Memo Transactions - The Do’s And Don’ts of Trading on Memo” seminar during the fair. It will cover consignment agreements, protecting a business in an event of bankruptcy, the steps to take to check credit worthiness and more.
