Getting your goods to the customer on time and in one piece are key, so the logistics of export are as important as all the effort that goes into winning the sale beforehand, if you are to make a success of trading internationally.

 

The next emita event, kindly hosted by DHL at their East Midlands Airport Hub, will focus on shipping your goods overseas. We have an expert panel to advise on how best to manage the international movement of goods to your advantage and ultimate profit, with plenty of opportunity to have your questions answered.

 

Don’t leave anything to chance; attending our seminar will give you solid practical advice on:

 

-          Dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s

o        How best to establish the terms and conditions of the sales contract in your interest

 

-          Deciphering the code

o        Incoterms provide a universally accepted code for shipment procedures, understanding it is vital

 

-          A stitch in time…..

o        How to get your paperwork right first time, every time

 

-          Fragile – handle with care

o        How your packaging ensures the goods arrive in one piece

 

-          Hedging your bets

o        Even with all the above, is it worth considering mitigating the risk?

 

Following the presentations, there will also be an opportunity to take a guided tour of DHL’s East Midlands Airport Hub, providing a fascinating, behind the scenes insight into the operations at this 63 acre purpose built site, capable of handling an astounding 45,000 shipments an hour.
