Customs Training can be delivered in one of two ways, the first is to look at attending a course designed for Customs Brokers (see below) or the second, which is to have a specific request for a type of product that you sell so sector specific BootCamps to help you understand the nuances of your product or offering. These range in prices depending on size of project however, most attract grant funding at the moment so do talk to us and let’s see what you need?
On 1st January 2021, customs entries will need to be completed for goods moving to and from the EU. This equates to a potential 250m consignments which will require processing, providing a huge opportunity for both new and existing customs agents.
With government grant funding available for training, software and recruitment, there is no better time to understand the technical and operational requirements.
Our customs broker bootcamps are designed by experts in the customs and forwarding sector to provide comprehensive and practical training, covering knowledge, operation and setup considerations.
The training is also aimed to ensure businesses moving forward with offering clearing solutions work to HMRC AEO-C standard, laying the foundations for successful application status upon operation.
Our Customs Broker BootCamp is delivered in one-day sessions and can be made into a full 5 day course to attract a discount or simply as a one day catch up on the skills you need to manage through to 2021!

4. Complex Goods
A number of products are subject to controls in addition to the customs entry requirements. Some controls are linked to the declaration, such as import and export licensing. Other goods require subsequent declarations to authorities such as Port Health and Forestry Commission. We cover how to understand which goods are subject to these controls and cover how additional systems such as TRACES are used to make declarations.

5. Best Practice, Simplifications & Special Procedures
This session focuses on the available special procedures and reliefs which are designed to suspend or waive import taxes. These include customs warehousing, inward and outward processing, transit, temporary admission and end use. We then discuss customs simplified procedures which are available, before covering entry auditing, record keeping and best practice. We finish with a summary of the key steps to follow before going live.
