Join us for this interactive half-day online workshop where we break down the often complex world of Rules of Origin and Trade Agreements into practical, easy-to-understand guidance that can deliver real value to your business.
Whether you’re an exporter or importer, understanding how to leverage Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) is key to reducing costs, staying compliant, and gaining a competitive edge in international markets.
What you’ll learn:
- What Rules of Origin are and why they matter
- How to determine if your goods qualify for UK Origin status
- How origin impacts duties and tariffs under FTAs
- The benefits of trading with countries that have preferential agreements with the UK
- Documentation requirements and how to avoid costly errors
- Understanding your supply chain exposure for receiving raw materials as part of your Origin process.
By the end of the session, you’ll have the confidence to make smarter decisions when trading internationally and ensure your goods are compliant, competitive, and customs-ready.
