Avoid Penalties: Get Ready for Your Next Customs Inspection

Customs Compliance Made Simple, Be Prepared with This Practical Guide  

HMRC can inspect your business at any time, and maintaining accurate records alongside readiness for an audit is crucial to avoiding disruption and penalties. This virtual masterclass provides you with the knowledge and strategies necessary to feel confident and well prepared before, during, and after a customs audit. 

Why Attend? 

This comprehensive session will take you step by step through the entire audit journey. You will gain clarity on legal obligations, supply chain risks, recordkeeping best practices, staff training importance, and even what to do when the audit notification arrives or when auditors come calling. 

What Will You Learn? 

In this workshop, we will explain what customs audits are, why they matter, and the different types you might face. We will also explore how your supply chain impacts compliance, where common mistakes happen, and what records you need to keep. 

You will also learn how to manage customs declarations, apply correct tariffs, value goods properly, and stay on top of key rules and legal changes, including the benefits of AEO status. 

In addition to this the workshop will also cover your legal responsibilities as an importer or exporter, the importance of accurate record keeping, and how to prepare your team with the right training and tools. 

From this we will guide you through the full audit process, from receiving a notice to working with auditors, responding to queries, and handling the closing meeting. 

To conclude the workshop, we offer expert guidance to help you understand audit findings, take corrective action, and make long-term improvements. The session will finish with a summary and a chance to ask questions. 

Who should attend? 

This workshop is ideal for anyone involved in managing customs compliance or international trade within their organisation.
