Description
Gain a clear understanding of the mandatory data sets, required commercial documentation, and the frequent errors that can cause delays or post‑clearance problems, helping you strengthen compliance and speed up clearance times.
The webinar will break down what customs agents truly need from traders, why specific data fields are critical from a compliance standpoint, and how incomplete or inconsistent information can trigger border delays or HMRC queries. It will also cover best practice for commercial invoices and supporting documents and clarify the division of responsibilities between traders and agents to ensure declarations are submitted correctly the first time.
