Understanding Commodity Codes (am) Online

DO you understand what a Commodity Code is? Do you know how to find out what your Commodity Code(s) should be? Commodity Codes dictate your duty rating as well as alerting you to any import or export restrictions.

This half-day training course covers all the key elements of the Commodity Code. The course will highlight commercial implications of the correct use of the Tariff/Commodity code and why it is so important to have a good understanding of them, which will help towards successful and efficient global business.

This course guides people through the process and its paperwork steadily and methodically so that everyone can arrive at an accurate HS code for their product with confidence and peace of mind.

COURSE PROGRAMME:

The layout of the Customs ‘Tariff’

How Commodity Codes are organised

Using the Tariff

Applying the correct code

Penalties for incorrect declarations

Practical exercises for a wide range of products

COURSE OUTCOME: At the end of this “hands-on” course – with many coding exercises – candidates leave with a solid experience of coding a variety of products, including their own range and can approach further HS coding challenges with complete confidence.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
