A conference hosted by AEB (International) Ltd will outline how they can achieve this, e.g. by taking advantage of simplified customs procedures, preferential benefits, automated customs procedures, EDI networks or implementing bonded warehouses – all while remaining compliant with customs and global trade regulations.
Organised in partnership with the Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport (CILTUK), the conference 'Import, Export and Customs Compliance - Improve Quality, Reduce Costs' will introduce current customs and global trade regulations, the risks associated with non-compliance, as well as trends, challenges and solutions. Case studies will explain the benefits of customs compliance programmes to streamline business processes, improve service levels and distribution efficiency and deliver cost savings in key areas of the supply chain.
