Overview
This Special Purpose Award (SPA) affords a review of Customs Law on International Trade by providing a formal grounding in aspects of European Union Customs Law and Regulations that govern International Trade.
The role, functions and current challenges relating to Customs in an era of Globalisation are examined, having regard for the aims and functions of key influencers. These influencers include The World Trade Organisation (WTO); The World Customs Organisation (WCO); and trading alliances such as The Single Market, and the implications of Brexit for example.
The interaction between global trade, and how customs policies facilitate such trade is examined in the context of global trade facilitation initiatives and the role of customs and border control is examined in terms of current global and geo-political influences. The programme critically analyses situations of potential difficulty and further examines appropriate legal remedies.
