Training course - is this course suitable for you?

Does your company use Customs agents and intermediaries to help you trade with the EU and the Rest of the World?

Or are you a Customs agent and already completing declarations but want further knowledge?

This course would benefit those who are currently completing import or export Customs declarations, or for those new to the process and looking to learn about the CDS platform.

As CHIEF will soon cease to exist, this course will provide a detailed overview of what has changed when applying for declarations through CDS, and what you need to know.

Our training day will explain how to accurately complete a simple Customs declaration. You will learn about how Customs regimes operate & spend time on the completion of a declaration on CDS.

This course would suit many different roles within a company that trades internationally, from Shipping, exporting staff, importing staff, management of all levels, to logistics and freight forwarders.

Make sure you have all available knowledge and guidance by attending this detailed course.
