EVENT DESCRIPTION

Who is this course suitable for?

If you have competed our beginners guide in import and export courses, this would be a great follow on as the next level up.

Our specialised full day course provides a detailed overview of both import and export, all elements that are involved and a summary of what paperwork is needed to be able to complete procedures in a smooth manner.

If you haven’t completed a beginner’s course previously, but have an insight on the subjects, it would also suit those looking for a fact based course, to expand on existing knowledge of both topics combined.

What happens on the course and what is taught?

Attendees will learn about the following:

Export Process

The Enquiry, Incoterms® 2020, Insurance, Methods of Payment, Licences & Limitations, Commodity Codes, Origin of the Goods
Quotation, Order Acknowledgment & Pro Forma Invoice

Import Process

After the course ends, attendees are encouraged to consider joining the next level of import and export courses to gain a deeper understanding of each element, which will further enhance their role within an import and / or export company.
