This course covers the basic rules and considerations for the import of goods into the UK whether those goods are purchased, loaned, donated or sent free of charge. It is is designed for anyone in central tax or finance teams who deal with import formalities. It may also be useful to finance staff in academic schools/departments, who deal with paperwork and declarations for imports and obtaining goods from overseas. While quite detailed, it is aimed at non-tax specialists, so there is no need to have an in-depth knowledge of tax. The content was written by The Customs People for BUFDG.
