Customs Classification – May 13th
Choosing the correct commodity code for your product can be difficult and confusing. Getting it wrong can be costly, causing delays and loss of income. The Customs Classification course will break down classification complexities, help your organisation choose the right codes, save costs and time, and expand your business. Join our interactive training covering the WCO’s Harmonised System, the EU’s Combined Nomenclature/TARIC and the UK Global Tariff, and their annual revisions. You will discover how to “construct” the code, understand why you and your supplier/customer in a different country may have divergent HS codes and what to do about it.
