Customs procedures are used to maintain, manage, and regulate the flow of goods across our border. It is the businesses responsibility to ensure documentation is correct, so compliance is vital to ensure you do not incur any additional costs, time delays or penalties.

International business needs to know what HMRC expects from traders, and this course is designed to give an overview of Customs procedures and the requirements needed to satisfy customs.

Learners will:

• Have an understanding of the role of HMRC, Origin and EC trade
• Have an understanding of Customs Procedures and UK Trade Tariff
• Understand Universal Customs Code (UCC), duties and taxes applicable

Each of the Chamber Training Courses can be reimbursed by the UK’s “Customs Grant Scheme”, Businesses that complete customs declarations now have until 31 January 2021 to apply for grant funding to help them increase their capacity to do so.
