Scope of the workshop:

So far, tariff classification has always been that one major obstacle in the import/export environment and workplace.

For both the importer/exporter and the clearing and forwarding agent, the Harmonised System (tariff classification) is the foundation for a multiplicity of customs related processes.

Traditionally, classification resided with the experts, those who have either become extinct or the management of today with no time on hand to transfer the required skills.

Today, classification finds itself within the usage of systems which only require the touch of a button.

But even these systems can be costly, either due to human error or delayed due to incorrect or less experienced decision making.

This workshop aims at providing a basis in respect of the need and probably the urgency for formal “tariff classification” training.

We especially invite entry clerks from the Clearing & Forwarding fraternity, as well as current and potential importers and exporters.
