當前經濟差，大學生畢業工作難找，大學生應該在畢業前未雨綢繆，畢業后努力提高，根據個人情況，掌握更多技能，增加被聘請機會。考取海關報關師執照、增強對進出口貿易的理解是其中最佳選擇之一。

可以肯定的說 ，很多大學生畢業后將會在與進出口業務相關的美國或中國企業上班，這符合中國人的特點，懂中文與中國文化，適合與在中國的工廠公司打交道，海關報關是進出口貿易最關鍵的環節，盡早掌握就盡早把握趨勢、掌握先機、成功就業。其次，參加海關報關執照考試不需要資歷與學歷的要求，每個在念的或已畢業的大學生，有經驗的或無經驗的都可以去考。還有，海關報關學習的海關法，稅率的計算，其日常所做的工作與會計師和律師相似，是知識型極為受尊重的職業；他的執照考試雖相當難考，但比起會計師與律師來，就會容易很多，可以在幾個月內努力學習下考取。

肯維專業培訓中心提供專業的海關報關師培訓，有資深的報關師執鞭，教師多年教學研究出考試捷徑，而且在幫助通過考試的同時教授在實際工作中馬上可用的經驗，彌補了大學教育的不足。

Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) Rules Become Final

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced that the final rule for Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) will be effective March 16, 2009 as scheduled.  The final rule includes mandatory labeling and recordkeeping requirements for retailers and suppliers of covered commodities.

Covered commodities include:

• Muscle cuts of beef (including veal), lamb, chicken, goat and pork
• Ground beef (including veal), ground lamb, ground chicken, ground goat and ground pork
• Wild and farm-raised fish and shellfish
• Perishable agricultural commodities (fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables), including ginseng
• Macadamia nuts, pecans and peanuts

The rule prescribes specific criteria a commodity must meet to bear a “United States Country of Origin” declaration.  The rule also includes provisions for labeling covered commodities of foreign origin.

In addition, the USDA has issued a letter to the industry requesting voluntary adoption of the following practices so that consumers are adequately informed of the source of food products:

• Labels of products from multiple countries should reflect production steps.  Processors should voluntarily include information about what production step occurred in each country when multiple countries appear on the label. For example, the product might be labeled as “Born and Raised in Country X and Slaughtered in Country Y” or ”Born in Country X but Raised and Slaughtered in Country Y.”
• Cured, smoked, broiled, etc. food should also be labeled. According to USDA, the definition of processed foods contained in the final rule may be too broad. Even if products are subject to curing, smoking, broiling, grilling, or steaming, voluntary labeling would be appropriate.
• Inventory allowance should be reduced to ten days. USDA states that the language in the final rule allows a label for ground meat product to bear the name of a country, even if product from that country was not present in a processor’s inventory, for up to 60 days. This provision allows for labels to be used in a way that does not clearly indicate the product’s country of origin. USDA states that reducing the time allowance to ten days would limit the amount of product with these labels and would enhance the credibility of the label.
