You’ll learn about rules of Origin and Letters of Credit and Export Finance, so you are fully clued up on all the aspects of an import and export business.
Getting started with an import/export business can look daunting at the outset, but our introduction to the business can ease your mind and help you begin. Our international trading experts will walk you through how to select the best target markets and the best plan of attack. You’ll learn about finding your ideal overseas partners, resources, export quoting, as well as support in working out your key logistical considerations.
Where do you start moving your goods in and out of the country? This customs and logistics course is perfect for anyone looking at the functions and processes required, from working with HMRC, through to documentation requirements and working with freight forwarders. You’ll cover many of the rules involved with exporting goods, get clued up on the licenses you’ll need and the checks you’ll need in place.
Picking the right partners is pivotal to a successful import and export business.
