Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does the EU Customs and Trade Compliance CPD programme help to ensure compliance within the company?
Import and export companies operate in an extremely complex and constantly changing legal environment. Many of them invest a lot of effort and resources in complying with customs and trade regulations, but these efforts tend to fall short of the desired results.
The weakest link in the risk management process is usually "qualified personnel in the departments most affected and regular training of the employees and managers involved". The CPD programme addresses precisely this challenge.
It ensures continuous learning and up-to-date knowledge through the extensive library available, the constant influx of new content, weekly legal updates and discussions within the CPD group. Participants also receive in-depth knowledge for their daily practice from the programme leaders.
How can I gain a general understanding of EU customs and trade compliance in order to take part in the CPD programme?
If you are new to customs and trade compliance or have only a fragmentary knowledge, we recommend that you take the EU Customs Clearance and Trade Compliance course before taking part in the CPD programme. This course will provide you with the necessary systematic background knowledge.
How much time do I have to dedicate to completing the CPD programme with distinction?
Please plan about one hour per week to update your knowledge by reading the weekly EU legal news and studying new or other learning materials of your choice.
Who can I contact if I have a question or need support during the programme?
You can contact the programme coordinator or the programme leaders.
Will I receive the certificate if I start the CPD programme later in the year?
Yes, you will receive a certificate for the period during which you participated in the CPD programme and for the credits earned.
Is the certificate verified by an official organisation?
The certificate is verified by the Customs Knowledge Institute and CustomsClear. In the EU, there is no government recognition or standard for a Customs and Trade Compliance CPD programme.
Who are the founders of the CPD programme?
The CPD programme was developed by CustomsClear, the customs and trade compliance knowledge platform, and the Customs Knowledge Institute, the network of customs and trade compliance experts.

Feedback
“The value of the CPD programme is very clear. The legal environment is highly complex and constantly changing. Not knowing what you're doing means a high risk of non-compliance. What's more, it saves time - learning on your own would take much longer.”
