CustomsClear Summer series: customs and sustainability

We are excited to announce a summer series of webinars on the topic of customs and sustainability. 

In this series, we will talk about how the new wave of regulation related to the EU’s Green Deal impacts the world of customs. We will discuss what customs professionals need to do to help companies respond to the growing need for supply chain transparency and traceability. 

These webinars will be offered at a special price of only 19 EUR. Please don’t miss this unique opportunity, and register for the events! Registration for the first event starts today on LinkedIn and our events page. 

31 July: electric vehicles, their supply chains and new tariffs

An exciting webinar on electric vehicles (EVs), their supply chains and recent EU and US tariffs on imports from China. Electric cars are seen as the solution to clean and sustainable transport. But governments around the world are putting up barriers to global EV supply chains. There is a risk that protecting domestic producers and localising production could lead to higher costs passed on to consumers. Will such actions not block the path to zero emissions? How can manufacturers and customers make sense of this confusing situation? And how does that impact customs? 

8 August: non-preferential origin for Green Transition

We will discuss the increasing importance of non-preferential origin in light of new EU regulations such as CBAM and the Deforestation Regulation. Non-preferential origin is also important in the context of other policy measures recently used by the EU such as countervailing duties, trade embargoes, safeguard measures and quantitative restrictions. At the same time, non-preferential origin can be more difficult to determine than preferential origin under trade agreements. The session will dive deep into some of the most common challenges when working with non-preferential origin.

Early September – customs and supply chains working together 

To close the summer series, we will chew over customs and supply chains. As companies are required to provide more and more information about the product’s supply chain, how can technology support companies in gaining that visibility? Can public-private partnerships support the introduction of Green Transition policies by simplifying the collection of some of this data? 

Stay tuned!
