Webinar: What Every Importer Needs to Know

Event Details

Date: Friday 7th November
Time: 10.00am-11.00am
Duration: 1 hour
Delivery: Webinar

Managing your imports has always been important and may be even more so now that goods coming from the EU are imports. Since January 2022 full Import Customs Declarations have been mandatory and, even if using an agent, the legal responsibility for accuracy of the information included falls to the importer. It is also vitally important that importers are checking that accurate duty and VAT have been applied and paid or accounted for. This webinar will cover the procedural and financial obligations faced by importers to help them put robust processes in place. 

Developed in response to customer requests, delivered in partnership with experts, International Trade Matters.

Aimed at developing the capacity of businesses to trade internationally.

One hour long and include a presentation and 15-30 mins of Q&A.
