About Us

HISTORY

FTS Associates, Inc. was started in 1995 with more than two decades of experience as an exporter and importer. Today, our goal is still the same: to provide clear, simplified, useful, cost-sensitive, comprehensive trade solutions to prospective and existing exporters and importers. We knew that we could bring the world into focus for offshore traders by providing training and consulting services that reduce the glitches and frustration that translate into the erosion of your profit margin. The combination of our training and consulting programs are allowing us to fulfill this goal.

Our customers are giving us high marks; Here is what they are saying:

"FTS has provided all of the export regulatory compliance and Incoterms training for our employees and many of our shippers since before I took over as Director of Export Compliance. During the ten years we have worked together, his name, throughout the company has become well recognized for providing stimulating, informative sessions on some pretty dry material.

Occasionally, I like to bump issues off of FTS and have always been provided with clear, factual, comprehensive guidance."

"FTS has developed and delivered specialized courses for our company for the past thirteen years.

In their evaluations, our employees still consistently describe FTS' courses using phrases like:
"Comprehensive," "Well-organized," "Stimulating," "Wanted more," "Informative" and "Best
training ever."

"FTS assisted with the development of our Compliance Program over a three year period. They were accessible,
responsive, and provided very detailed training programs that were interactive and stimulating. Their ability to
manage the project was exceptional."
