Upskill your team's knowledge with Subsidised , fully Accredited Training from Surrey Chambers of Commerce.

The UK government and HMRC are urging UK business to prepare now for the huge opportunities available to them in the International market. At the end of this year we are leaving the EU Single Market and Customs Union, and this means there are both new challenges and new expansion opportunities for businesses and the opportunity to take advantage of global demand for British products and services. To prepare you for the complexities of selling internationally together with the new Exporting rules that will come into force on 1st January 2021, (regardless of deal or no-deal), Surrey Chambers of Commerce is providing International Trade training courses.

The Customs Procedures and Documentation course* is a comprehensive look at the information that is required to be submitted to customs to enable goods to be imported and exported including the consequences of delays, fines, inspections and HMRC audits that will ensue if you get it wrong.
Understanding customs documentation and all of the information that is required, is vitally important for importers and exporters as they are liable for the correct and accurate completion of this information, even if it is done by a third party such as a customs broker or freight forwarder.
