How to avoid your goods getting stuck or delayed at the border

Free webinar recording

In the post-Brexit era, businesses need to comply with a variety of customs rules and procedures to ensure their goods move smoothly over borders into international markets, including the EU. Traders, or their intermediaries, also need to be adept at using the IT systems that are used at the border for overseeing cross-border goods movements and compliance.

A failure to meet these legal obligations, or to stay up-to-date with systems and rule changes, can lead to goods being delayed or held at the border. These delays can have detrimental financial and reputational effects on a business and its supply chain partners.

This free one-hour webinar hosted by the Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade, in partnership with Customs4trade, looked at how businesses can ensure their customs knowledge is up-to-date and help them to understand how they can avoid delays when their goods cross the UK border.
