International Trade: Inward & Outward Processing

Description

A half day course that clarifies these two Special Customs Procedures that enable businesses to avoid duty and taxes on goods received for processing or repair, or sent overseas for processing or repair and return.
The basic principle of the procedures is to allow UK exporters & import processors to be more competitive by reducing their costs. Processes that are permitted include manufacturing, sorting and packing, repair and refurbishment.

Authorisation is required from HMRC to use the processes and HMRC impose strict obligations on those using the procedures.  Those applying for authorisation will therefore need to demonstrate they have robust compliance procedures in place and this workshop will take you through those procedures.

This course will cover:

• Reasons for using IPR & OPR
• Conditions for using the procedures
• Effects of the new Union Customs Code
• What constitutes a "process"
• How to apply
• Conditions of Use
• Role of third parties

• Discharging your liability
• Record keeping
