Learn the skills, regulations, and best practices needed to import goods into the US.

US import rules & regulations are constantly changing. Whether you have employees to train — or want to take your own career to the next level — our import training courses get you up-to-date, keep you in compliance, and teach you best practices that can save you time and expense.

Our classes

Where do I start?

We have divided our courses into three levels, depending on your degree of experience and the role you play within your firm:

  • Introductory – Ideal for entry level personnel, such as trainees and those who have transferred into an import/export role from another department, without any prior understanding of the subject matter. Those who have some experience may also benefit from these courses as “fill-in the gaps” training.
  • Intermediate – These courses assume that you have either taken relevant introductory courses or already have equivalent professional experience.
  • Advanced/Specialized – Advance courses tend to be more career-specific. They assume that you have either taken the related introductory/intermediate level courses or posses a corresponding level of professional experience.
