The purpose of the course:
Let us explain the complex subject of Origin, which is essential to understand, as the country in which a product is made can affect the import duty that is applicable. We will examine the non-preferential rules for determining the country of origin of goods, in accordance with the provisions of Primary Rules and Residual Rules. We’ll identify the preferential origin rules for your own specific products, in order to determine if they meet preference according to the relevant EU Free Trade Agreement. Be aware of the new customs computer; Customs Declaration Service (CDS). We shall discuss BREXIT and how that will impact on your international trade.
Benefits for your organisation:
- As an Exporter, you can help your customers in some countries to import your goods more cheaply under Preference.
- As an importer, you can select preferential origin goods in order to reduce your import duty rates, which in turn will reduce your Import VAT.
- Non-preferential rules are used for all kinds of commercial policy measures, such as anti-dumping duties and countervailing duties, trade embargoes, quantitative restrictions, tariff quotas etc.
- Consider how BREXIT and CDS will affect your current procedures and practices
