"Surviving" customs audits with the INCASE Compliance Model

The training will be conducted in German language.

“In my work as a customs auditor for several years, I have seen many companies with numerous approaches and attempts to get a grip on the management of customs requirements. Despite great efforts (financial, human, technical), organisations often fail to achieve the desired effect and corresponding success in the area of customs compliance,” says Dr Michael Jung.

To remedy this situation, the INCASE model was developed in a university research project with the participation of numerous economic actors (companies, consultants, service providers) as well as institutions and business associations. The model is both scientifically and theoretically grounded and has been empirically tested. The INCASE model offers an instrument that is as effective as it is clear, and is aimed at the sustainable and long-term organisation of customs compliance.

The training is designed in particular for Customs managers, shipping employees, managing directors, customs officers, forwarders and customs consultants, who are responsible for customs matters in companies and organizations and would like to gain a deeper understanding of the control systems of the customs authorities and professional prevention and sanctions.
