Customs training is designed to empower your business and its employees to better understand their responsibilities in relation to customs and international trade. As part of structured customs courses, it also enables the business to identify potential risks and opportunities that may lead to more efficient use of internal resources, potential cost savings and a reduced likelihood of unwanted attention from HMRC.
By introducing customs training within the business, you strengthen your ability to meet customs and tax compliance obligations. This can support improved risk ratings and Senior Accounting Officer compliance, while also helping to ensure that internal customs resources are used as efficiently and effectively as possible. Many businesses choose to deliver this through a customs training academy model or a certified customs specialist course to ensure consistent knowledge development across teams.
BKR is a market-leading customs advisory firm with a proven track record of delivering bespoke, engaging and high-quality customs training to businesses across the UK and EU. Our programmes range from focused workshops through to full customs courses tailored to specific business needs.
Our training is designed and delivered by experienced customs advisers and focuses on practical, outcome-led content. The aim is always to provide businesses and their staff with clear, high-quality information that helps them identify both risks and opportunities within their customs activities. Where appropriate, we can also support elements aligned to a certified customs specialist course or internal training customs frameworks.
Whether you require training on a specific subject or a broader customs compliance training programme, BKR can support your business through tailored customs training courses.

Bespoke Training
All of our training is tailored specifically to each client. We do not provide generic or repetitive sessions, but instead deliver relevant, high-quality training designed around the specific needs of your business. This approach also ensures that the training environment remains confidential, allowing your staff to openly discuss the challenges and opportunities relevant to your operations.
Our service begins with an initial scoping call to understand what your business requires from the training and to agree clear and meaningful learning outcomes. Following this, BKR will design and deliver a bespoke training programme led by our experienced customs professionals. Every aspect can be tailored to your needs, including the delivery method, content, location, duration and the overall focus of the training. This flexible approach aligns with both standalone customs courses and wider customs training academy programmes.
Focus on Cost Savings and Risk
Our priority is to help your business navigate an increasingly complex trading environment. As part of our customs training, BKR advisers place strong emphasis on identifying opportunities to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
Our approach equips your staff with the knowledge to identify both risks and opportunities within your supply chain. This may include recognising duty saving opportunities, supporting more informed contract negotiations or making better use of available customs reliefs. At the same time, the training helps staff recognise potential compliance risks that could have a material financial impact on the business.

Compliance at its Core
BKR advisers come from a wide range of professional backgrounds, including former HMRC officers, consultants and freight forwarding specialists. We draw upon this combined experience to ensure that our customs training is grounded firmly in practical compliance.
Our training provides your team with high quality guidance while also creating an opportunity to discuss your business’s specific challenges and opportunities directly with experienced advisers. This ensures your organisation is better equipped to meet its customs and international trade obligations with confidence through effective customs training courses and ongoing training customs support.
