International trade workshop - Understanding exporting

The UK accounts for only 2% of global GDP so 98% of the world’s market could be open to you. The world is more and more connected, so it is easier than it has ever been to trade internationally. This is an introduction to Exporting and the practical considerations needed.

The course covers the requirements of sales and purchase orders, an introduction to Incoterms, packaging considerations, general compliance issues and commodity codes. The importance of export documentation is explained, along with sources of help and guidance.

Course Contents:

• Commercial considerations, pricing and getting paid
• Practicalities including Incoterms®, packaging, transportation, and compliance
• Export documentation
• Sources of help and advice

Who should attend?

This course is suitable for administrators, managers, directors, and owners of businesses who want to grow through international trade. It will be valuable for companies who are already exporting reactively so they can ensure they have the correct processes in place and are meeting their compliance obligations. The course is valuable for both newcomers wanting an introduction and overview, and experienced staff needing a refresher on current requirements.
