In this course, you will be introduced to other than customs regulations that affect customs operations (so-called restrictions and prohibitions), such as health, environmental and security related regulations. You will learn, how to find out what restrictions or prohibitions apply to the goods in your shipment.
The course is one of the modules of the extensive Customs clearance and trade compliance in the EU training (see brochure).
Lessons
The course consists of six video lessons:
- Introduction
- What are non-tariff regulations?
- Different regulations, different requirements
- Sanitary and veterinary regulations, TRACES
- Marking goods - quality and compliance
- Controlled goods - managing the supply chain
Before doing the quiz, please do the 'Task in preparation for the quiz' - you will find it in the resources section.
In addition, there is a video 'AGRIM license case (EU import)' about a practical situation. EU importer's goods are already at customs when he learns that the AGRIM license must be presented. What is this license? How to get it? Watch the video to learn the answers.
In the resources section, you will find slides and recommended reading. You can read articles of interest on the platform during the entire learning period (after purchasing the course, you will get access to the articles).

When considering whether to import or export, first establish whether the goods are subject to special regulations or controls. Thoroughly research the detailed requirements for import and export, and placing the goods on the market.
