Training course - is this course suitable for you?
Background: what is an export?
An export refers to a product or service produced in one country and sold to a buyer abroad.
Successfully exporting can:
- Generate increased revenue - Exporting can significantly boost your profits.
- Develop and grow overseas relationships - Exports provide access to new markets and new revenue streams.
- Build your client base - By selling products or services internationally, you can tap into a broader customer base
- Set you on a path to be an industry leader – By establishing a presence in multiple countries, you are building credibility in the global market.
Learning about the correct procedures and what documentation to use is vital for your export success.
Is it for me?
Are you looking to support smoother export transactions through understanding:
- What information is required on your invoice
- When to request a certificate of origin or preference document
- What are the different requirements on your commercial invoice and your pro-forma invoice
This course is suitable for beginners who are new to their role in Export or who haven’t had any formal training. It is an ideal follow-on course for delegates that have previously attended our non-BCC Beginners Export course, however, would also suit more experienced staff looking for a refresher and wanting to update their knowledge.
