Customs Procedures & Documentation Course
Businesses that move goods internationally need to be aware of the customs rules and processes that govern cross-border trade.
This is especially the case since the UK left the EU customs union as firms now need to complete customs declarations for all goods that they trade with the EU and beyond.
