Trade and Customs
You learn how goods get across a border: the documents, the classification, the clearance, and the people who move the box.
After this track you can
You can assemble a complete export document set and find the error before the bank does, defend a classification, and plan a clearance so a delay at the border is a day you had allowed for.

- 12.1Export Documentation End to EndPractitioner6 lessons · 2 h 10 minYou follow one export shipment of 18,000 two-piece sets through its whole document set. You see what each document proves, and the twenty-minute cross-check that finds the error. And you look at one quantity box that cost USD 7,450.20, because two correct documents disagreed.
- 12.2Customs Classification and ValuationPractitioner6 lessons · 2 hYou follow one autumn jacket order through the two decisions that set its duty. First you make the classification argument, in the order the rules force. Then you build the customs value from the invoice up. You see a coating worth USD 18,917.04 on one style, a yarn substitution that cost 3.59 times what it saved, and one all-in price that quietly paid duty on duty.
- 12.3Import Clearance: from the Vessel to the Warehouse FloorPractitioner6 lessons · 2 hYou take one order of 28,800 jackets, split across three destination markets, and follow it from the last hour before loading to the pallet on the warehouse floor. You get the nine events between a vessel and a delivery, the gap between released and available, and the arithmetic that decides how many buffer days your calendar should carry.
- 12.4Freight Forwarders, Carriers and BrokersPractitioner6 lessons · 2 hYou follow one container of quilted gilets from Abu Hammad to Rotterdam, through the people who moved it. A house bill of lading caps a USD 9,315.20 loss at USD 1,102.08. A USD 1,340 quotation turns into USD 3,491. A cheaper tender bid costs USD 189 a container more. And a booking clears every cut-off and is rolled anyway.
- 12.5Duty Relief: Drawback, Bonded and Temporary AdmissionAdvanced6 lessons · 1 h 50 minYou follow one chino order of 26,400 pieces through the regimes that stop a factory paying duty twice on the same cloth. You price the four reliefs against each other. You see the consumption ratio that turns a merchandising number into a customs obligation. You sit the audit two years later. And you meet the case where the relief is not worth claiming.
- 12.6Trade Compliance, Sanctions and Forced Labour RulesAdvanced6 lessons · 1 h 50 minYou follow one detained container from the notice to the release. You see the difference between holding documents and being able to prove what happened. You build a traceability file for one order, tier by tier. You price what a hold costs against what preventing one costs. You screen counterparties as a routine, write the terms that get records out of a supplier, and see what a certificate really proves.
- 12.7Sea, Air and Multimodal OperationsPractitioner7 lessons · 2 h 10 minYou price one mixed order to Canada under every mode it could travel by. You work out the density that makes a light garment dearer to fly than a heavy one. You price a tail of cartons the loading plan chose by geometry. You compare two routings on their tails, not their averages. Then you rank an air budget so it protects nearly three times as much.
- 12.8Marine Cargo Insurance and ClaimsPractitioner7 lessons · 1 h 40 minOne container of padded parkas is damaged in the Bay of Biscay. You follow it through the two things that could pay for it: the carrier's limited liability, and the cargo policy. You see the gap between them, the leg nobody insured, and the exclusion that catches apparel. You see how a claim file is built. And you meet the general average bill that arrives on undamaged cargo.
