The British International Freight Association (BIFA) has added new modules to the Bitesize eLearning programme that it launched earlier this year as part of the corporate membership fee.

The new modules supplement the existing CDS Compliance course and encompass a variety of Customs regimes including Returns Goods Relief, Temporary Admission, and Inward Processing for imports; as well as Outward Processing, Export from a Customs Warehouse and Standard Export.

Whilst the initial CDS Compliance is a mandatory module, centred around an import home-use declaration, and outlining potential consequences of compliance errors, the new modules can each be undertaken separately.

BIFA Bitesize is a suite of eLearning that has been developed as part of BIFA’s ongoing commitment to provide a variety of training options, aimed at enhancing knowledge in areas critical to freight forwarding, customs compliance, and international trade.

In addition to CDS Compliance, the first rendition of BIFA Bitesize content featured extracts from the existing BIFA Freight Forwarding and Customs Essentials courses.

Some of the key topics include: Preparing to Trade; Incoterms 2020; Inward and Outward Processing; Customs Warehousing; Classification; Returned Goods Relief; Paying HMRC, and Procedure Codes. Read more from BIFA >
