Customs training
Practical customs training for your team
C&L Declarations offers practical customs training for businesses in Ireland that import or export, delivered through our logistics partners, online or at your premises. It covers the customs basics your staff deal with every week, from EORI numbers and commodity codes to customs value, Incoterms and GB-Ireland RoRo paperwork. We're a customs brokerage, and each session is built around your own goods and routes.

What does the training cover?
EORI and getting set up
Who needs an EORI number, why you register for ROS first, and why Revenue insists on your Eircode.
Commodity codes
Finding the right code in TARIC, why it sets your duty rate, and when to apply for Binding Tariff Information.
Incoterms
What EXW, DAP and DDP mean for who arranges transport, who pays duty and VAT, and who carries the risk.
Rule changes
What's changing for Irish importers, including the end of AIS V1 for import declarations on 16 December 2026.
Who is customs training for?
Businesses that deal with customs every week but don't file their own declarations: staff who book loads, accounts teams who pay duty and VAT, and owners who have started buying from or selling to Great Britain or elsewhere outside the EU. The aim is simple: better information for your broker, fewer rejected or amended entries, and fewer surprise charges.

Questions we get asked
Frequently asked questions
Will training let us file our own customs declarations?
Not on its own. Training explains how declarations work and what goes into them. Filing your own also means setting up access to Revenue's customs systems and taking responsibility for every entry you lodge. Many businesses keep a broker for filing and use training so they send cleaner information and can check the results.
Is the training accredited?
No. It's practical, job-focused customs training, not an accredited course, and no qualification is issued. If your staff need a formal customs qualification, tell us and we'll suggest where to look. Sessions focus on the day-to-day work: codes, values, documents and deadlines.
Can you run customs training online?
Yes. Sessions can run online by video call, which suits teams spread across more than one site, or at your premises if you'd rather meet in person. Either way, we use your own goods, routes and paperwork as the examples, so the session matches the work your team actually does.
Do you cover the 2026 rule changes?
Yes. We cover the changes affecting Irish importers this year, including the end of AIS V1 for import declarations on 16 December 2026, and the €3 customs duty Revenue has charged since 1 July 2026 on online orders worth €150 or less sent to consumers from outside the EU, for each distinct product type in the package.
How much does customs training cost?
It depends on the topics, the format and how many people attend, so each session is quoted separately. Tell us what your team handles, which routes you use and where things tend to go wrong, and we'll send a quote the same working day, before anything is booked.
