About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours

Why are rules of origin important?

Determining where a product comes from is no longer easy, when raw materials and parts criss-cross the globe in complex supply chains.

Rules of origin are therefore needed so that a single country of origin is attributed to each product.

Why do I need to establish the origin of my goods?

Duty rates, preferential trade agreements, trade sanctions and import quotas are all regulated according to country of origin. As the UK develops its own trade policy, negotiates free trade agreements and sets its own tariffs, an understanding of the rules concerning origin will become vital for UK importers and exporters.

Attend this workshop and learn how to boost your exports and save duties on your imports.

Organised by

As the pace of business life increases and knowledge quickly becomes stale, organisations are beginning to re-evaluate the way they look at training and developing their staff. More importers and exporters are seeing the value of aligning their choice of training with strategic organisational objectives and our best-selling training model has been designed in response to this.

Online Training

Online training is an evolving trend that is proving incredibly popular with businesses. The benefits to business speak for themselves:

  • Participants don't have to be in the same place
  • No travel costs, attend from anywhere in the world
  • Time-efficient, with no travel time to a venue
  • More stimulating compared to chalk and talk classroom sessions

Our online courses and seminars are taught live by our experienced, certified trainers, and are fully interactive (not “one-way” webinars). Join us to deepen your import/export know-how, find the right answers to niggling questions, and learn best practice.
