Import Procedures Including Inward Processing and Outward Processing (BCC Accredited)

The BCC now has ten nationally accredited core courses. Together, these form an export curriculum that provides invaluable basic skills for small and large companies alike. Candidates must demonstrate knowledge of the subject and their performance will be marked by external examiners on the completion of each module. Successful candidates will receive a certificate; completing six or more courses will result in the candidate achieving a nationally recognised Foundation Award in Exporting. These courses are suitable for both experienced exporters and those with no previous knowledge of exporting.

Who should attend?

This course would follow on from Customs procedures or would suit as a stand-alone course for those who are only interested in Importing procedures. It would suit those who are currently working in an Import environment who have never had formal training, or for those wanting a refresher. The course is also suitable for exporters and importers who understand international trade and require specific training on Customs Special Procedures including IP & OP. This course may also provide an insight into business solutions post Brexit for those companies, who currently only purchase from or use processing facilities in the EU.

This course has been combined to run as a 1-day course rather than 2 half day courses. The course is worth 2 credits towards the foundation award in international trade.
