Who should attend:
If you are in management, international sales, purchasing, accounts, shipping, distribution, inventory control, warehousing, or in some other way involved in your organisation's exporting and importing, you will really learn and benefit from one of these seminars.
Why you should attend:
In many companies the responsibilities for the various tasks involved in exporting and importing are shared between staff whose primary function may lie in some other area. In other companies, the responsibilities are a full-time job, but often there is little or no formal on-the-job training, just the heavy hand of experience. But in most cases there is no-one within the company to whom the existing and new staff members handling these tasks can look for assistance and reliable up-to-date advice, so they need to turn to external training to better equip them for their role.
Our Professional Development seminars have been designed for exactly this purpose. Wouldn't you like to know more about your exporting and importing job?
Objectives:
Over the two days of this seminar, participants will be expected to acquire skills, knowledge and competence in the following, as they impact upon the exporter and/or importer:
- International transport, including the role of the freight forwarder, seafreight, airfreight, overseas couriers, airmail, packaging, shipping marks.
- Terms of trade, including the correct definitions of FOB, CFR, CIF etc, and the risks/responsibilities of both seller and buyer as specified in Incoterms 2000.
- Cargo insurance, including who is at risk and when, the different types of cover, limitations of carriers' liabilities.
- Documents, including commercial, transport, government and other paperwork, what they are and what their purpose is.
- Payment for goods, including pre-payments, open account, documentary collections, documentary credits (L/Cs), exchange risk.
- Australian government involvement and assistance, including understanding customs procedures, quarantine, Austrade and EFIC.
Expected outcomes:
After participating in the seminar, individuals will be able to:
- Analyse current and future transport needs and costs within their organisation
- Determine the optimum transport methods for their products
- Understand the particular needs that international transport places on packaging of goods
- Determine and advise on the correct trade terms for their transactions, and the costs, risks and responsibilities these entail
- Ascertain whether they have an insurable risk, how to insure that risk and how to handle claims
- Ensure that the documentary requirements of their transactions are met
- Understand the various payment options and analyse the requirements of each
- Read and have a general understanding of a documentary credit (L/C)
- Understand the various government requirements and assistance for exports from Australia and imports into Australia
- Understand that involvement in their organisation's exporting and importing is not simply an adjunct to some other tasks, but a vitally important specialist role demanding knowledge, skills and dedication.
Training strategy:
You will be required to not only attend but be actively involved in the two whole consecutive days. Sessions will be comprised of lectures, involvement by participants, visual presentations, and you will receive a comprehensive workbook.
