Investing in Training and staying updated on Export and Import Procedures: A Long-Term Asset for Businesses in International Trade


The world of international trade is constantly evolving, and staying informed on the latest import and export procedures is crucial for businesses to avoid costly errors and penalties.

Mistakes in documentation or compliance can lead to significant fines from HMRC and disrupt supply chains. To ensure smooth operations and avoid penalties, investing in proper training for your colleagues is an invaluable asset.

At the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, we offer a variety of accredited training courses that cover essential aspects of international trade, including Import and Export Procedures, Methods of Payment and Letters of Credit, Customs Procedures, Rules of Origin, Understanding Commodity Codes, and INCOTERMS. Our courses are designed to suit the needs of your business, and we offer flexible training options – whether bespoke in-house, online, or in person.

Our accredited courses are delivered by expert trainers, and during each session, delegates are encouraged to raise any queries they may have regarding specific logistics challenges. This interactive approach ensures that any concerns can be addressed directly, improving operational efficiency and accuracy.

Upcoming online half-day courses include Customs Procedures on 15 October, INCOTERMS on 21 October, and Commodity Codes on 10 November.

For those looking for a more comprehensive experience, our full-day in-person course on Import and Export Procedures will take place on 6 December – an essential course for understanding the complex paperwork required in today’s logistics environment.

Invest in your team’s expertise, avoid costly mistakes, and ensure compliance with ever – changing regulations. To learn more about our training options, please contact us at export@liverpoolchamber.org.uk.
