Though our clients are at the top of our priority list, we also develop important external projects. IFCG Academy is among them.

The major goals of this project are:

TO EXPAND THE PROFESSIONAL COMMUNITY

TO SHARE EXPERTISE

openly via IFCG Encyclopedia — a regularly updated, comprehensive, knowledge-packed online import and export database.

TO ENGAGE SPECIALISTS

of both IFCG and partner companies to advance their professional development.

TO DEVELOP EFFICIENT STRATEGIES

that help to solve customs legislation issues and business cases jointly with chambers of commerce and industry.

Workshops and trainings

We help employees to better understand the customs legislation, provide them with a set of legal tools and teach them to defend interests of your company in customs-related disputes.

Our workshops and trainings give clear-cut answers to your how-to questions, provide professional training, explain the complicated import-export system and help you make well-informed decisions.

You acquire knowledge backed by our experience and practical cases (including unconventional and complicated ones). You learn the theory and practical aspects of import and export including:

  • Preparation of customs clearance documents
  • Customs value calculation
  • Administrative liabilities for customs offences
  • Classification of goods

The programs are flexible both in terms of duration and content. They range from standard programs (eight two-hour sessions) to individual training fully customized to your business needs.
