EU preferential origin – supplier`s declaration: design the process that meets your needs

Savings resulting from free trade agreements / preferential origin are crucial for market access and can become a decisive argument in sales / strategic sourcing. To benefit from these duty savings, proof of preferential origin is crucial. Supplier declarations are the most important documents for proving that goods have preferential origin or contain parts of preferential origin. Correct and compliant management of these documents is therefore the basis for reaping the benefits that free trade agreements offer.

The course is designed for trade compliance managers, customs managers, supply chain and logistics managers, operations managers, purchasing managers, managing directors, etc.
