Regardless of a hard or soft Customs Brexit, goods to/from the UK or transiting through the UK, will be subject to strict compliance and documentation requirements. 

This workshop will cover how export and import customs will impact trade with the UK as a ‘Third Country', how tariffs work and the need to correctly classify your goods.

You will become familiar with the customs compliance requirements that will affect your company, on trading with the UK, outside the EU.  This workshop will help you to brainstorm the urgent tasks and applications needed to mitigate costly delays and penalties.
