Describe the structure of the paper.
Regional Trade Agreements.
Identify the regional and other trade agreements that affect your selected company.
What issues must you be most aware of?
What risks are important?
Analyze the consequences of choosing wrong characteristics when classifying products for tariffs. (Use the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) site by the U.S. International Trade Commission in your analysis.) Choose one of the following options:
Option A: Choose a product your company sells globally that has various tariff schedules depending on region, which you can find using the HTS page. Using this page, examine the various tariffs that can be applied depending on the source and type. How much will it affect your profitability? Would it be worth spending the time to figure out source and type?
Option B: Assume your company is importing salmon from Finland. You do not know where it originates or what type of salmon it is. Using the HTS page, examine the various tariffs that can be applied depending on the source and type. How much will it affect your profitability? Would it be worth spending the time to figure out source and type?
Apply the NAFTA tribunal process to navigate laws that may impact the selected company. Choose one of the following options:
Option A: Locate a city in Mexico or Canada where your company is operating. Recently, this small town has enacted green effluent laws that will affect your profitability. Assuming your margin is very small, any increase in costs will damage your profitability. What recourse do you have? How would you go about handling this issue? Identify areas of uncertainty and/or knowledge gaps that may impact your strategy.
Option B: Your company processes and cans salmon in Delores Hidalgo, Mexico. Recently, the small town has enacted green effluent laws that will affect your profitability.

Global Risk Factors.

Sample Solution

Equality and Diversity UAS (2014) also indicates that disabilities covered by the Act can also include;

  • Conditions such, as Asperger Syndrome and other Autism Spectrum Disorders. According to Equality and Diversity UAS (2014) specific learning difficulties will also now be included under the EA. These will include Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The EA will require schools to assess these students and make the necessary provision under SEN. Therefore the EA will have had an impact upon the students who will be assessed as disabled and need SEN adjustments within schools.
    Equality and Diversity UAS (2014) then further defines what can be classed as a disability under the EA.
  • A long-term is defined as a disability where effects last at least 12 months
  • Temporary conditions which are likely to last less than 12 months will not be covered by the EA. These could include temporary infection or a broken limb. However, some adjustments may be made within school to accommodate such conditions.
  • Normal day-to-day activity includes activities which are carried out by most people on a fairly regular and frequent basis, for example using the stairs.

How does the EA define Disability and Special educational Needs (SEN)?

One important aspect of the EA (2010) is that not all children who are defined as disabled will have Special Educational Needs. For example, those with asthma arthritis or diabetes may not have SEN but may have rights under the EA. The EA (2010) definition for schools for disabled students comes from the EA and the definition for SEN students comes from the Education Act 1996. The impact on schools will be that there will be a significant overlap between the two groups of children. A child may fall within one or more of the definitions. The Department of Education defines children with SEN as children have a learning difficulty if they:

  • Have a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of children of the same age
  • Have a disability which prevents or hinders them fro
