Customs procedures and Documentation

Chamber International Training Courses are aimed at helping you become trade compliant no matter where you are on your export journey.

Trading internationally can be complex and costly, especially if you don’t have correct procedures and knowledge in place.

During this full-day, interactive, British Chamber of Commerce accredited course, we will cover the different documentation and considerations which you need to understand before moving your goods from A to B. Across six-hours, we will provide you with:

- An understanding of the key international bodies and legislation which regulates international trade

- An overview of different documents, certificates and licences that may be required

- Knowledge on the information that is needed to complete a customs declaration and how you should review your declarations

- An overview of Incoterms, commodity codes and origin

- Knowledge on the different types of duty which may apply to your goods

- An understanding of preferential and non-preferential origin and how your goods can be classified as UK origin
