Description

Moving goods across borders involves a complex set of rules, documentation and decisions that can directly impact cost, speed and compliance. As part of the Moving Goods series, this practical webinar is designed to help UK exporters confidently manage the end-to-end shipping process.

You will gain a clear understanding of the key rules, regulations and regulators that shape international shipping, including how to work effectively with HMRC and other governing bodies. The session will demystify export documentation requirements, clarify roles and responsibilities, and explain how and why export customs declarations are completed.

We will also explore what exporters should check on a declaration to avoid costly errors, compare different modes of transport and their commercial implications, and break down Incoterms® 2020 – highlighting how they define risk, responsibility and cost throughout the supply chain.
