Focus on Customs Procedures and CDS in June!

In June we are focussing our training programme on Customs.  This is such an important aspect of international trade, and it is essential that both importers and exporters get it right.  Getting customs procedures or documentation wrong will lead to delays and unwanted costs, including possible fines!

We are running a full-day Customs Compliance, Procedures and Documentation course on Thursday, 16^th June followed by a half-day workshop on the Customs Declarations Service (CDS) on Thursday, 23^rd June.  Please see below for details of each course and click on the links to book your place(s).
