Confidence is related to how well you do your job, how effectively you relate to others and how good you feel about yourself. When you are more confident you become more willing to learn and do what it takes to accomplish key goals in life and in work.

Applicants now have the option to become AEOC (Customs Simplifications); AEOS (Security and Safety) or the two combined.
AEO status demonstrates that a trader has embedded a culture of compliance in their procedures and can be accorded a “Trusted Trader” status. The trader’s role in the international supply chain is secure and it has customs control procedures that meet UK and EU standards.

09:30 AM - 12:30 PMThe correct classification of goods using commodity and tariff codes is fundamental for customs compliance, establishing correct duty rates, origin of goods, intrastat, export control, security and many other customs procedures. Using the most appropriate code is the legal obligation of the trader, and should not be delegated to other parties or agents.
HMRC expect traders to establish codes by using through a reasoned in house documented process. An objective of this seminar is to provide organisations with the necessary resources to demonstrate compliance with this requirement
09:30 AM - 12:30 PMHM Revenue and Customs require exporters to demonstrate documentary compliance, even if they choose to outsource the shipping function to agents or forwarders or delegate logistics to the buyer under ex-works terms or similar. Non compliance risks delay in the supply chain and the possibility of financial penalty.
This seminar will examine all aspects of export documentation and will seek to establish best practice, emphasising the need for a clear and coherent audit trail for each shipment to ensure customs compliance.

09:30 AM - 12:30 PMInward Processing Relief (IPR) is used to obtain relief from customs duties and import VAT on goods that are imported from outside the EU for processing. The basic principle is to allow UK exporters to be more competitive by reducing their processing costs. Processes that are permitted under IPR include manufacturing, sorting and packing, repair and refurbishment.
The inception of the Union Customs Code (UCC) in UK in May 2016 reduced the number of qualifying imports under the old "Simplified" IPR regime to 3 per year and requires those traders who wish to exceed this limit to seek an authorisation.
13:30 PM - 16:30 PM
The Incoterms® Rules are an essential business tool for export import because they define the risk and cost responsibilities of each party when arranging loading/unloading of the goods, delivery, import export clearance and freight contracts. They may be used in contract negotiations, as a checklist for buyers and sellers and as a framework for international and domestic sales contracts.
All parties involved in international trade in any capacity should clearly understand The Incoterms Rules to maximise legal certainty in transactions. This seminar will consider the general features of the rules and will examine each of them in detail. This course will satisfy the requirements of the British Chambers of Commerce/National Trade Training Service "Incoterms" assessment module.
