Q. Moving to Tajikistan in a few weeks. Haven't been able to research much on importing clothing goods (sheepskin) to USA. Need some import expertise. Anything I need to do before I leave US?

TJ Export/US Import - need an expert for this part. Floundered around Commerce website, drowned a bit in HarmonizedTariffSchedule. :( There is an American Chamber of Commerce in Tajikistan (not contacted yet) and I have been trying to email a contact I was given at USAID Tajikistan but no response. Is there anyone here I can/should be speaking with before I leave about details of importing goods for sale? Also just getting started trying to interest boutiques (recommended target) for outlet here in the DC area. Advice on approaching buyers?

Area of Expertise: International

Industry: Export/Import

John Spiers offers an excellent course over the internet. He is an expert and having taken his class I can attest to that myself.
