Program Overview: What is Global Trade and Customs Compliance?
Global Trade & Customs Compliance is a 24-hour program for trade compliance professionals, logistics managers, and supply chain leaders moving goods across borders. It covers the global trade compliance landscape, tariff classification and customs valuation, rules of origin and free trade agreements, customs entries and brokers, and sanctions with export controls. Participants learn to keep goods moving legally through every customs regime they touch.
The program pairs regulatory briefings with applied classification and documentation exercises: participants classify real products, determine origin under free trade agreements, and work through denied-party screening and export control scenarios. Instructors with trade compliance experience review each determination, correcting the classification errors that trigger the costliest penalties. Three guided practice sessions sharpen judgment on live cases. It closes with a capstone where each team builds a compliant trade program for a realistic product portfolio.
Trade violations are expensive and unforgiving: misclassified goods draw back duties and fines, sanctions breaches can mean criminal liability, and a single held shipment can idle a factory. Most companies discover their exposure only when customs comes calling. This program turns trade compliance from a firefighting function into a disciplined program that protects margins and keeps supply chains flowing.
The capstone is a compliant trade program your company could run tomorrow: a product classification register, an origin and free-trade-agreement strategy, a broker and warehousing playbook, and a sanctions and export-control screening workflow with escalation paths. Each team defends its program against instructors simulating a customs audit, probing the classifications and controls most likely to fail. What returns is a working trade compliance program, tested under pressure, ready to brief leadership.
Six modules and 24 hours: trade regulation foundations, classification and valuation, origin rules and FTAs, customs entries and brokering, sanctions and export controls, and a capstone trade program build. Every module pairs concepts with a guided lab, so each technique is practiced. It closes with a capstone your team designs, documents, and presents.
Delivery is hybrid across virtual and onsite sessions, scheduled around your calendar. Cohorts train as one group or split into batches, with session materials and lab guides included for every participant.
