Course Code
CESF 309
Duration
42 hours
Every year, billions of tons of cargo are shipped to and from ports around the globe. And every piece of it has to be documented properly if it's going to make it through customs. How would you like to be one of the people who checks that paperwork and examines the cargo? Or maybe you'd like to work for a shipping company and be the person who makes sure that cargo gets where it's going. Either way, this course will teach you what you need to know. Here, you'll focus on reporting and documentation requirements for ships and cargo, with special attention to the role of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and other customs administrations worldwide. Finish this course and your paperwork will be in perfect order.
