Why this course?

International traders need to understand legal requirements when they move goods over international frontiers. These obligations have been radically changed by the establishment of the Single Market. There are also many opportunities to avoid paying import duties and taxes if you understand the system properly. This course explains, in simple terms, the documentation and procedures required for the international movement of goods. It also identifies the different obligations that arise when goods move across the ever-enlarging territory of the European Union.

At the end of the course you will understand your obligations, be aware of the terminology and documentation requirements and be alert to opportunities.
