Training

“The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential… these are the keys that unlock the door to personal excellence.”

Confucius

Are you compliant with import and export requirements?

Are you up to speed with the latest changes in customs procedures and legislation?

How many of your staff have received current professional training and can confidently claim to both understand and effectively practice in this field?

The UK’s separation from the EU has, without question, raised the profile of international trade. Never has there been such a proliferation of process and procedure issued by the UK government in such a short space of time!

Systems and processes continue to evolve as the government develops and implements its target border operating model. Furthermore, trade policy and agreements impact on day-to-day international trade practice. Whether you are new to export, having perhaps only historically traded within the EU, or an established exporter, many companies are reviewing the level of understanding and compliance within the business. Tariff classification and rules of origin are still proving to be areas of non- compliance, with far reaching repercussions, along with other core principles such as incoterms and proof of export.

From bitesize sessions to interactive full day courses, material and delivery style can be tailored to suit your requirements.
