Course overview

The customs requirements when importing and exporting can be extremely complex. Although most organisations use a third party to assist them, it is still absolutely crucial that you understand the process and your own responsibilities.

This course will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the customs procedures and offers practical tips to help you work seamlessly with your agents and forwarders to avoid costly problems and delays.

The course will cover the switch from CHIEF to CDS, customs declarations, customs documentation requirements, commodity codes, rules of origin, customs duties, taxes, reliefs, incoterms, supply chain risk and much more.

Who should attend?

Whether you are involved in procurement, import/export administration, despatch and shipping, marketing, sourcing or customer services, you will benefit greatly from attending this course.

It is essential for anyone that previously only traded within the EU and now needs to understand the new procedures following Brexit.
