By Brighton Chamber

From the 1st January 2021 all UK businesses will be operating under different trade agreements and this will mean getting to grips with a number of issues in terms of reporting and record keeping.

On Thursday 18 Feb, from 1 - 2 pm, Brighton Chamber CEO Sarah Springford will be joined by Lesley Batchelor OBE, CEO of International Trade Experts Ltd, which runs the ExportBootCamp series of workshops.

We’ll cover topics including:

What is a Free Trade Agreement and how they operate
How does the WTO’s Most Favoured Nation tariff work
How do you know where the Origin of your goods is legally
Rules of Origin and how to analyse and calculate this
Recordkeeping to support my declared origin for my goods
More paperwork
Do I have to use a Free Trade Agreement

You can send your questions in advance to Daisy and there will be a chance to submit your questions during the session.
