Since the earthquake in January 2010, IDB has awarded $189.7 million in contracts for Haiti reconstruction and development and has ten more projects in the pipeline for 2011. The IDB has estimated that it will be spending another $200 million per year for the next ten years as it administers large contributions by the international community.

Led by the U.S. Executive Director at the IDB, the Haiti Reconstruction Forum will feature major USG, IDB, and private sector players in the rebuilding of Haiti. These agencies are at the heart of reconstruction efforts in Haiti and they will present practical, business-focused information about current and existing projects, and how to identify, track, and bid on private sector contract opportunities arising from these projects. If you really want to understand how to win business in Haiti, this is an event you can’t afford to miss.

MAINTAINING A LEGAL WORK FORCE

2011-10-28T10:21:00.000-07:00

Friday, November 4th The Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce Presents:

MAINTAINING A LEGAL WORK FORCE

The past State Legislative session bills were filed on mandating E-Verify (electronic

employment eligibility verification) for all employers in the State of Florida with the

intent to curtail the hiring of illegal workers - it failed. There are indications that

similar bills may resurface in the upcoming State session and there is legislation

pending in Congress to make it a requirement nationwide. Arizona and other states

have passed legislation making it mandatory for employers and are currently mandatory

for state contractors in Florida. E-Verify is currently a voluntary program - with the

exception of the states that have mandates for employers to use it.

E-Verify is not without controversy and there are employers who do not like it as it has

its limitations and shortcomings. Should E-Verify be mandated at the State or Federal

level, it will have greater implications for small businesses that do not have the IT

resources such as high speed internet, etc.

The Greater Miami Chamber has not endorse E-Verify but we are presenting this

program for employers to educate themselves, ask questions, etc as this has the

potential of becoming a reality in the future.

Enterprise Florida is hosting a FREE webinar on increasing your export sales by participating in the Team Florida Trade Mission to South Africa. The Trade Mission will be led by Florida's Lieutenant Governor Jennifer Carroll, this November 4-13, 2011 to Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa.

South Africa, the 26th-largest economy in the world, is one of the most stable markets in Africa and is Florida’s #1 merchandise export destination in Africa. Florida and South Africa serve as the “gateways” for trade and commerce between the Americas and Africa. As a member of the five-nation South African Customs Union, South Africa already offers immediate access to a region of over 57 million people. Additionally, the advanced efforts to create a “Free Trade Agreement” with their East African neighbors represent an opportunity for open market access to 26 countries with a combined GDP of $833 billion and a population of over 530 million consumers.

During the webinar, you’ll learn about the Team Florida South Africa Trade Mission and how you can participate in this once in a life time business development event.

Team Florida Trade Mission to South Africa
Johannesburg & Cape Town, South Africa
November 4-13, 2011

The Team Florida Trade Mission to South Africa offers Florida companies an opportunity to identify new prospects and expand their current business activities in the South African marketplace. This multi-faceted event offers a combination of one-on-one prescheduled appointments and high level networking opportunities to qualifying Florida companies.

Florida exporters are well-positioned to gain from entry into the South African market. Several of our Florida cities, air and seaports, and universities already have sister-city/sister-port relationships or long standing exchange programs with counterparts in Africa. Florida’s geographic location makes us the closest U.S. State to Africa.

South Africa, the 26^th largest economy in the world, is one of the most stable markets in Africa and remains within the top 50 destinations for Florida-origin exports. With an emerging middle-class, South Africa has a number of well-developed sectors including: financial, legal, communications, energy and transportation that can yield many opportunities for Florida companies. With the 2.8% growth of the South African economy in 2010, Florida companies can benefit from pursuing this market of interest.

The best export opportunities to South Africa are vast and we invite you to review a comprehensive list of best prospects and participation costs by clicking here: MissionBrochure

To be considered for participation, all completed registration forms must be submitted in their entirety.

Informe de la Oficina de Control Aduanero sobre Importaciones a EE UU rechazadas en frontera

2011-04-18T05:11:00.000-07:00

OBSERVATORIO DEL CONTROL ADUANERO DE LAS IMPORTACIONES (OCAI)

La Oficina de la CEPAL en Washington pone a disposición del público un breve informe que actualiza la información disponible en el Observatorio del Control Aduanero de las Importaciones (OCAI) Dicha nota puede obtenerse a través del siguiente enlace: http://www.cepal.org/washington/

OCAI contiene información sobre los productos rechazados en los puertos de entrada a los Estados Unidos, recopilada por la Food and Drug Administration (FDA), agencia encargada de la inspección de las importaciones de alimentos (con la excepción de la mayoría de carnes y aves), cosméticos, medicinas, aparatos médicos y productos electrónicos que emiten radiación. Estos productos pueden ser rechazados en frontera por una variedad de razones que tienen que ver con la salubridad e higiene de los mismos y el cumplimiento de estándares y regulaciones vigentes en Estados Unidos.

La CEPAL quisiera también compartir un estudio realizado con base en la información compilada en OCAI, titulado: "Estimating the effects of United States food safety and agricultural health standards on agro-food exports from Latin America and the Caribbean". El estudio usa el número de rechazos en la frontera de Estados Unidos como una aproximación a los costos comerciales asociados con estádares y regulaciones relativos al comercio internacional de alimentos. Dicho estudio puede obtenerse a través del siguiente enlace: http://www.cepal.org/washington/

Business Development Mission to Panama June 12th-15th, 2011

2011-03-09T05:56:00.000-08:00

As Executive Director of the Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) of Miami-Dade County, I am pleased to invite you to participate in the OEDIT Business Development Mission to Panama from June 12th thru the 15th, 2011.
Panama’s stable and strong economy and several construction projects and infrastructure improvements present numerous business opportunities for U.S. companies. In 2010, Miami-Dade’s total trade with Panama was $1.3 billion and total exports reached $1.1 billion, representing an increase of 28% from the previous year.

The objectives of the mission are to explore ways to increase bilateral trade between Panama and Miami-Dade, and to position Miami Dade as the “Global Gateway” for business in light of the expansion of the Panama Canal by 2014. International trade remains a critical component to Miami-Dade’s prosperity - fueling economic growth and supporting the creation of jobs. Consistent with the recently established National Export Initiative (NEI) the mission to Panama is designed to assist Small and Medium size businesses (SME’s) in Miami-Dade to take advantage of new markets.
During the mission, participants will have the opportunity to meet with high level government officials, receive country briefings, network with business and representatives of the local chamber of commerce or business associations, as well as, participate in pre-arranged business-to-business matchmaking meetings with local companies.
I want to especially thank our partners Enterprise Florida Inc., the Consulate General of Panama in Miami, and the Panamanian American Chamber of Commerce USA (PACC-Miami) for supporting this mission. I am certain this mission will provide an excellent opportunity for your business or organization, and I look forward to having you join us on June 12th. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

Sincerely,

J.A. Ojeda, Jr.

I am pleased to inform you that The Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) of Miami-Dade County will be partnering with Spring Boutique Week Miami which will be held in Miami-Dade County April 17th-24th, 2011. Spring Boutique Week will also take place in Chicago, New York, Boston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

Premiering in October 2010, Boutique Week is a semi-annual event, bringing together America’s boutiques for a week of incredible sales and discounts. Boutique Week can help boost sales of individual boutique owners in Miami-Dade while offering customers unique products and in some cases affordable access to high-end couture. A variety of Miami’s local boutiques will celebrate Spring Boutique Week by offering a minimum of 25% off of at least half of the boutique’s merchandise to access code holders.

I would like to invite your organization to participate in this weeklong event that offers an opportunity to boost the local economy by helping individual retail businesses increase their sales as well as offering customers unique products at a reduced rate. Specifically, I’m requesting your assistance in getting the word out to our local boutique owners so that they can participate in the Spring Boutique Week Miami. Boutiques interested in participating in the program should contact Olga Vidisheva at 857-225-2637 or olga@boutiqueweek.net. There is a $250 fee for participating boutiques.

Consumers interested in signing up for a free access code and seeing a full list of participating boutiques should go to: http://www.boutiqueweek.net/

Thank you for playing an important role in the revitalization of our local economy by helping our small business owners succeed.

Sincerely,
