Customs Knowledge Institute

Empowered by knowledge

Welcome to the Customs Knowledge Institute. We are a not-for-profit organisation established in Ireland. Our mission is to bring passionate customs practitioners together for the purpose of enhancing customs knowledge, which is still in development in many countries.

Customs is complex and non-compliance might become a huge issue. We believe people involved in customs and trade matters in their day-to-day job need to be supported, through practical training, delivered in an accessible manner.

Therefore, our first step is cooperation on international training projects. Are you looking for training on customs for your team? Take a look at the practical courses developed by our members, or contact us today to discuss bespoke training options.

The next step will be announced soon! We just started.

Mini course on customs

What is the Mini course on customs about?

It is a short, intensive course on customs focusing on the key principles of customs. In light of Brexit, it has been designed with EU and UK businesses in mind.

Who should take the Mini course?

The Mini course is designed to give an up to date appreciation of changes in EU-UK trade and the consequent additional requirements. It is a key ingredient for planning trading activities in 2022 and beyond, and it is also an excellent base for training those with little customs experience who intend to develop their professional competence. It is of interest to the logistics industry, the online selling sector, supply chains that involve EU-UK exchanges, and also anyone with a general interest in understanding post-Brexit mechanisms.

How do I attend the Mini course?

The course is delivered in bite size parts, which are made up of sessions. Complete the course in your own time, at your own pace, anywhere!
