New York--The Jewelers Vigilance Committee (JVC) will present two seminars at the American Gem Trade Association (AGTA) GemFair Tucson, scheduled for Feb. 4-9 at the Tucson Convention Center in Arizona.

Both JVC seminars are scheduled for Feb. 7.

The first, "The Basics of Memo Transactions--The Do's and Don'ts of Trading on Memo," is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. in the Cochise Room. This seminar will outline many of the important points included in the JVC's new guide, "The Essential Guide to 'Memo' Transactions." Topics will include reviewing consignment agreements, how to protect your business in the event of a bankruptcy and the steps to take to check credit worthiness.

At 11:00 a.m., the JVC will present "Burma and Beyond--Operating Your Business in Today's New Regulatory Environment" in the Mohave Room. Together with AGTA Chief Executive Officer Douglas Hucker, this seminar will provide up-to-the-minute information on the Tom Lantos Block Burmese JADE (Junta's Anti-Democratic Efforts) Act.

The act, signed into law in July, prohibits the importation of rubies and jadeite from Burma.

An international trade specialist from U.S. Customs and Border Protection will be on hand to answer questions, and written materials containing updated information about the act will be available.

Registration is not required for these seminars but space is limited, so the JVC urges those wishing to attend to arrive on time.

For questions, contact AGTA's Adam Graham at adam@agta.org or the JVC's Amy Greenbaum at amy@jvclegal.org.
