• A detailed run over of what Documentation a forwarder requires to process shipments smoothly.

• An in-depth explanation about the importance of Incoterms and how choosing the correct terms could save your business thousands.

• Open discussions about the charges you should and shouldn’t receive as an importer/exporter.

• Explanation about a forwarders global reach (Overseas offices, Networks etc)

• Discussion about Insurance and how important this is for your business.

• Opportunity for a Q&A session.

5-1-2 (Manchester) Ltd is also offering our delegates the opportunity to participate in a short placement at their office, giving you the chance to see how a freight forwarder deals with your shipments and to learn how rates are calculated directly from their experienced team.
