Chamber training course offers insight into export licenses
Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce is a launching a new international trade training course this month.
The half-day course - 'An introduction to export controls and licencing ' - will give delegates an insight into export licences, issued to companies who are shipping goods that are classed as restricted, and other forms of control used by the authorities.
Delegates attending this half day course will gain an insight into:
- Types of licences
- USA controls
- The UK Strategic Export Control list
- Application
- Compliance
- Exporting with a licence
- Brexit
As well as the above topics, the course will also cover legislation, what controlled goods are, embargos and sanctions, trade controls, tech controls, and how to check goods using the goods checker/OGEL checker (which is used in conjunction with the UK Strategic Export Control list).
The UK Strategic Export Control list determines whether any products, software or technology that firms intend to export are 'controlled' and therefore require an export licence.
Chamber international trade training manager Leah Quarmby (pictured) said: “This would suit those who are new to export controls and licencing as it investigates why we have licences in place and how to apply for them.
“For those companies who do currently use Export licences, it will be beneficial to make sure you are using the licences correctly as well as find out about the different types for certain goods.
“The first date for this new and exciting session will take place on Wednesday 23 February and run from 9.30am to 12.30pm, with another date scheduled for June.
“If you have multiple team members who would benefit from attending, we can also provide a training session just for your company. Adaptions could be made to include looking and discussing the licences you currently use within your business. ”
