Continuous Professional Development

Course Description
Problems associated with Export Documentation will often lead
to delays in getting goods to customers, increased costs and charges, and
a breakdown of goodwill between seller and buyer. Changes to regulations and
requirements often pass unnoticed or are misunderstood.
HM Revenue and Customs require exporters to demonstrate documentary compliance
with security and customs regimes, even if they choose to outsource the
shipping function to agents or forwarders or delegate logistics to the buyer
under ex-works terms or similar. Non compliance risks delay in the supply chain
and the possibility of financial penalty.
This seminar will address all these issues and more. It will examine all
aspects of export documentation from first enquiry to arrival of the goods at
destination and will seek to establish best practice, emphasising the need for
a clear and coherent audit trail for each shipment to ensure customs
compliance.
Duration
One day
Course Methods
The trainer will use oral and visual presentation, reference to fictitious and
real examples and participatory exercises to illustrate course content. The
delegates will receive copies of the presentation on which notes can be made
together with a workbook for future reference.
