Event description

The government plans to create the most “effective border in the world” by the end of the following year as part of its 2025 UK Border Strategy.

With continuous improvements in the implementation of systems like the Customs Declaration Service (CDS), the National Computerised Transit System (NCTS), and the Single Trade Window, as well as the rapidly increasing usage of artificial intelligence (AI), technology plays a major part in achieving this goal. This free and extended 75-minute webinar from the Institute of Export & International Trade, in partnership with iCustoms and featuring speakers from HMRC, will look at these technological developments and give traders practical advice on how to prepare. It will cover:

  • Updates and timelines on the CDS migration and roll-out of NCTS5
  • What the new Single Trade Window could mean for UK trade
  • What role AI could play in the future of UK customs
  • An update on the ‘ecosystem of trust’ methodology
  • Latest supply chain trends and technologies
