Understanding Import Procedures

This introductory session provides fundamental skills for classifying goods for import and export. You’ll gain practical experience using the UK Global Tariff, learn what commodity codes are used for, and understand how proper classification affects duties, taxes, and controls. Mistakes in this area can be costly and serious. This session is perfect for trade administrators, procurement teams, and technical experts responsible for identifying commodity codes.

The UK accounts for only 2% of global GDP, so 98% of the world’s market could be open to you. The world is more and more connected, so it is easier than it has ever been to trade internationally. This introductory course covers practical considerations for selling overseas, from pricing and payment security to packaging requirements and compliance obligations. This course is ideal for business owners, managers, and administrators ready to expand internationally or optimise existing export processes.

This session explores the five main payment methods for international trade, helping you understand the risks associated with each and what could go wrong. You’ll learn about UCP600/ISBP requirements and gain practical tips for success. This session is key for finance teams, contract managers, accounts staff, and anyone setting payment policies with international suppliers or customers.

If you’re involved in importing goods, this introductory course is for you. This course covers import documentation and procedures, commercial considerations, and the importance of your purchase order. You’ll learn about the three main import duty drivers (valuation, origin and classification), calculate VAT and duty, and discover how to reduce customs clearance delays, and more. This course is suitable for administrators, managers, directors, and business owners purchasing from overseas.
