The Export Process

On 1st January 2021, the UK entered a new trading era with Europe and the rest of the world.

The UK’s border operating model means that all consignments despatched from the UK are exports and need to go through customs clearance. This impacts on business operations and processes.  Are your staff adequately trained?

Whether preparing the right documentation, understanding the significance of rules of origin or the complexities of customs procedures, the Exporter has legal obligations.

This course covers the key aspects of the export process from a very practical perspective. It is suitable for companies exporting products to overseas markets (it is not relevant for service companies).

Everyone within an organisation is involved in the export process in some way, however those staff who have a greater responsibility for ensuring that goods are suitable for export markets, shipped correctly and maintaining appropriate records will benefit the most from participation
