Customs authorities have digitised, sanctions lists have multiplied, and the penalty for sloppy declarations has moved from delay to prosecution. This programme trains trade compliance as an operating discipline: tariff classification done defensibly; customs valuation with its adjustments and pitfalls; origin and trade agreements used correctly rather than optimistically; export controls and sanctions screening built into the order flow; and the practical craft — broker management, audits, voluntary disclosures and the customs relationship that gets containers released.
What you will do

Frequently asked
What does the trade compliance programme cover?
The declaration itself — tariff classification done defensibly, customs valuation with its adjustments, and non-preferential and preferential origin with the proof each requires; the control layer — export controls, dual-use goods, sanctions screening of parties, vessels and ownership chains, and Incoterms liability; and running the function — broker management, customs audits, voluntary disclosures and trusted-trader programmes.
Who should attend?
Trade compliance and customs professionals, logistics and supply chain managers with cross-border flows, finance staff who own duty costs, and legal and compliance teams extending their remit into trade. It trains trade compliance as an operating discipline built into the order flow, not a back-office check.
Is this legal advice on customs or sanctions law?
No — the programme is professional training, not legal advice. It builds the method and evidence discipline behind defensible classifications, valuations and screenings; decisions on specific goods, transactions or jurisdictions remain matters for your legal advisers and the relevant authorities.
Is the programme available in-house and in French?
Yes. BIZENIUS delivers the programme in English and French, and an in-house edition can be tailored to your trade lanes, product portfolio and broker arrangements. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request; fees and quotations are provided on enquiry.
