Customs plays a critical role in enabling compliant and efficient cross-border trade, with direct implications for cost, operational continuity, and regulatory risk. This masterclass is designed to familiarise those responsible for customs functions with the core principles and practical aspects of customs and international trade within the GCC.

Through real-world scenarios and focused discussion, participants will explore key customs pillars including classification (HS codes), valuation, and origin, alongside the GCC customs framework and UAE export control and sanctions compliance. The session empowers participants to apply customs principles in practice, address compliance and operational challenges with confidence, and make informed decisions on priorities, resource allocation, and engagement with external service providers. By the end of the training, participants will be better equipped to optimise customs processes and support their organisation’s international trade objectives.
