What are some seminars/classes I can take to help in my logistics role (and hopefully get my employer to pay for)?

I took over my company's logistic role this year. Previously, I had no experience in logistics. My main tasks include: filling out ISFs for import shipments to be sent to broker, filling out commercial invoices/MBOL/IMO Dangerous Goods declarations for export shipments, entering imported shipments into CBP's AES system, scheduling shipment pickup and deliveries (both with our containers and smaller air shipments).

Today the VP of our company came into my office to "make me aware" of a problem where he thinks we are basically paying double duty on one of our products that is sold in Canada. He was talking about CAFTA and the double duties, etc. I finally told him that I don't know what any of that means.

I let him know that the only things I know how to do were A) taught to me from the previous logistics person B) things I learned from googling (and Reddit) when problems arise. So essentially, I don't know about things I have no clue I should know about since they don't exist to me. And that if he wants me to be more knowledgeable, he needs to provide me with ways to get this information.

That long story is just for me to ask if anyone can recommend some classes/seminars (preferably online) that I can bring to my VP of things I should know. I expect the company will be cool with paying for these as long as they are less than $400.
