Understanding how customs duties and taxes affects overseas sales is crucial when trading internationally. This session is to help you understand your obligations, areas to help you stay on top of your commitments and the necessary steps you may need to take.
Ensuring you understand the regulations, and your subsequent liabilities, around tax, tariffs and Rules of Origin is vital when you start exporting.
Starting with Customs Declarations, and looking at their importance in the export process, leading you to better understand any potential tariffs associated with your goods, not to mention license requirements and valuations.
We will look at the ‘meaty’ subject of Rules of Origin, and how this can affect your ability to trade either through a Free Trade Agreement, or through World Trade Organization Most Favoured Nation rates, something that may well have a bearing on your pricing strategy, too.
Finally we will take a look at any applicable taxes for both goods and services.
Outcomes:
* Understand the taxes that apply to goods and services when exporting
* Understand what rules of origin in international trade are, and how to utilise these rules to your advantage
* Understand any tariffs you must adhere to and how to make customs declarations
