Regulatory compliance in the chemical distribution industry requires staying ahead of a wide range of federal requirements that affect how products are imported, handled, stored, and distributed. This workshop brings together regulatory experts and industry professionals to break down some of the most important compliance areas impacting chemical distributors today—from customs requirements and FDA oversight to EPA regulations and chemical import and export rules.

Designed specifically for compliance officers, regulatory specialists, EHS professionals, and legal advisors, this workshop offers an opportunity to deepen your understanding of key regulatory frameworks while connecting with peers facing similar challenges. Join us to gain practical knowledge, ask questions of experts, and strengthen your organization’s approach to regulatory compliance.
