Trading with the EU
Confident, Compliant, and in Control
Trading with the EU remains more complex than many UK businesses expected. Customs processes, rules of origin and responsibility for import and export decisions continue to cause uncertainty, delays and unexpected costs.
This live online course is designed to help UK businesses understand how EU trade works in practice and what applies to them, so goods move smoothly, the correct duty is paid, and responsibilities are clear.
Who This Is For
This course is suitable for UK businesses that:
- Import goods from the EU
- Export goods to the EU
It is particularly relevant for:
- Import and export teams
- Operations and logistics managers
- Anyone involved in EU trade decisions or oversight
No prior specialist knowledge is required, but the course is also valuable for those with experience who want to sense-check their understanding.
What You'll Learn
This practical session focuses on how UK–EU trade works in reality, including:
- How UK–EU trade operates post-Brexit
- Customs processes and border formalities for EU trade
- Where responsibility sits for import and export decisions
- How VAT applies when trading with the EU, including import VAT
- The role of Incoterms® and how they affect risk and responsibility
- How the UK–EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement works in practice
- Rules of origin and tariff-free trade with the EU
- What businesses should understand and sense-check, even when using agents or forwarders
The emphasis is on clarity and application, rather than only theory.
