Customs Special Procedures focusing on Inward Processing (IP) and Outward Processing (OP) Training

The purpose of the course:

Learn how to complete the Application Forms for Customs Special Procedures, including the CCG1 Customs Comprehensive Guarantee Form and Questionnaire as well as calculating your potential debt guarantee amounts. We shall look at the roles of processing in order to identify if you could trade more competitively. Processing can be anything from repacking or sorting goods to the most complicated manufacturing. With Inward Processing Authorisation (IP) you could benefit from duty being relieved on imports of non-EU goods, which are to be processed in the Community before being put to an eligible disposal. Relief can be obtained from customs duty, specific customs duty, anti-dumping duty, countervailing duty. Alternatively goods can be diverted to free circulation, at the rated of IP goods or compensatory products.  With Outward Processing we shall explain how you are allowed to claim relief from customs duty on the EU goods which have been exported for process, as long as you can show that the exported goods were used to produce, or are incorporated into, the products you are importing. Before you can claim duty relief under OP, you must be authorised to use these arrangements. OP does not extend to excise duties but you may be able to pay VAT on a reduced value for goods that you have previously exported if you can satisfy the conditions for this. We shall also discuss other Customs Special Procedures. The UCC impacts on these Special Procedures, come and learn about how the changes may affect you and your business. Be aware of the new customs computer; Customs Declaration Services (CDS). We shall discuss BREXIT and how that may impact on your international trade.
