Global supply chains face rising geopolitical fragmentation, border checks are increasing, and authorities are stepping up post-clearance audits. For exporters, there are many practical challenges including getting valuation right, classifying products accurately, proving origin under FTAs, and using Incoterms® in a way that doesn’t create unnecessary tax or risk exposure.
On 10 December, Alinea Customs, in partnership with Trade Treasury Payments (TTP) and Trade Compliance professional Sylwia Nowak will host a live webinar to explore these and other exporting-related questions.
Whilst shipping and the Red Sea crisis caused tension in 2024, 2025 has been the year of tariffs – where customs and indirect tax compliance has been a key focus of global topical discussion.
This session will reflect on a turbulent year in trade policies, and how rules of origin, tariff classification, customs valuation, and Incoterms® should be used to improve operational efficiencies.
The Exporter’s Playbook webinar will examine how international trade is harmonised through conventions established by the World Customs Organization and World Trade Organization. The speakers will also reflect on regional or agreement specific variations in application, for example, the US “first sale rule” in relation to customs valuation.
Terminology in trade agreements will be addressed, for example, comparative analysis of the definition of “production” between the PAN-EURO-MED Free Trade Agreement (FTA), the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) Agreement and the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement, reveals significant variance.
Finally, we will break down customs and border priorities when goods are bought, sold, transferred, or moved between entities and provide some guidance on practices that can help prevent delays, penalties, or reassessments.
Sign up to the webinar to gain access to The Exporter’s Playbook, a white paper published by Trade Treasury Payments to support companies that participate in international trade in navigating the year ahead.
