The Essential One-Day Experience for Corporate Customs & Trade Professionals
The Customs Management Masterclass is a premium one-day online session designed for professionals involved in international trade who want to step back and truly understand how customs should be managed at a strategic level.
Led by our strategic advisory team, with Nicolas Urien, Head of Advisory, as lead speaker, this masterclass goes beyond theory to focus on what actually drives performance in customs management.
Open to participants from diverse backgrounds, the session is designed both for professionals directly involved in customs and for those who need to better understand the key decisions, risks, and levers behind it.
In one intensive day, we cover the core pillars of modern customs management – including classification, origin, valuation, export control, brokerage management, and duty optimisation – always with a clear focus on what matters in practice.
Each topic is approached through both a legal and operational lens, combining field experience, real-life examples, and actionable insights.
