Import / Export Documentation & Shipping Procedures

COURSE OVERVIEW

Are your import and export documents prepared correctly before shipment? Is your team confident with HS Codes, Incoterms®, customs declarations and Certificates of Origin? Are you keeping up with the latest Malaysian Customs, SST, e-Invoice and digital trade requirements?

In international trade, a small documentation error can quickly become a costly problem. Incorrect tariff classification, inconsistent shipping documents, wrong Incoterms®, missing permits or inaccurate customs declarations can result in shipment delays, additional duties, storage and demurrage charges, loss of preferential tariff benefits and compliance issues.

The import and export landscape is also changing rapidly. Malaysian businesses must keep pace with the Customs Duties Order 2025, updated Sales Tax requirements, MyCIEDS electronic document submission, e-Invoice requirements for import transactions, ePCO and e-Form D, Rules of Origin, import/export controls and evolving Free Trade Agreement requirements.

This 2-day practical programme takes participants through the complete import and export process—from shipment planning and documentation to customs clearance and final delivery. Participants will learn how to prepare and verify key documents including Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading/Air Waybill, Customs Forms and Certificates of Origin, while understanding HS Codes, customs valuation, duties and taxes, Incoterms® 2020 and shipping responsibilities. Through practical examples, document-checking exercises and real-world shipping scenarios, participants will understand how each document connects throughout the shipment process and how to identify common mistakes before they become costly problems.

Ideal for professionals involved in logistics, shipping, procurement, supply chain and import/export operations, this program provides practical knowledge to reduce documentation errors, avoid unnecessary delays and costs, strengthen trade compliance and manage international shipments with greater confidence.
