 ​​​​​​​​​​2 day course plus Assessment on day 3

This course is part of the Morley Consulting, CILT UK Accredited, Career Pathway.

Designed as the essential next step for those who have completed the Certificate of Customs Competency (see alternative entry options below) and who want to progress their career to a senior level.   

The Advanced Customs Practitioner course offers an expansion of the fundamentals of classification and valuation along with consideration of other useful customs procedures.  Once again this is a practical course intended to directly transfer to the workplace.

You will gain a detailed knowledge of tariff classification methodology for complex or ‘difficult’ products using available official resources to confidently classify products in the light of your analysis of detailed rulings on interpretation.

Customs Valuation will be discussed with recent rulings and cases used to illustrate complex areas of debate and potential non-compliance allowing you to confidently take valuation decisions in the workplace.

The course extends your knowledge of key issues and explores the practical requirements of compliantly and smoothly moving products with more complicated documentary needs across our borders.

You will also complete your knowledge of the wide range of customs and associated procedures available to bring competitive advantage to your supply-chains; many of which are ‘hot topics’ since the UK left the EU.

This course is part of the suite of Morley Consulting CILT Accredited Customs Career Pathway courses which ultimately lead to the Diploma in Practical Trade Compliance.
