This 90 minute interactive workshop will provide an overview about customs special procedures that enable you to suspend, pay less or no duty on goods you import or export. David Hooper, Managing Director at Hooper and Co International Trade Consultancy will deliver the workshop to our sector businesses looking to understand repairs/processing and other customs procedures. He will cover the topics as outlined below – discussing what they are and providing examples for each one. The workshop will be limited to 15 spaces, allowing businesses to interact with David and understand how the special procedures can be used for their business needs.

Topics covered include:

Outward processing

When you export goods outside the UK for processing or repair and then re-import them, you can use outward processing to reduce your duty payments.

Inward processing

You can use inward processing to delay or reduce import duties or VAT on goods that you process or repair.

Customs Warehouse

You can use custom warehousing to delay duty and VAT.

Carnets

The ATA Carnet is an international Customs document that allows the temporary importation of commercial samples, professional equipment or goods going to either a trade fair or exhibition to countries which are part of the ATA Carnet system.
