SUMMARY:The Future of EU Customs: What’s in it for Business and Customs?
DESCRIPTION:The ICC Belgium invites business leaders\, policymakers and customs professionals to a high-level conference exploring the future of EU customs and the implications of the Union Customs Code (UCC) reform. \nThis reform represents one of the most significant transformations of the EU customs framework in decades\, shifting from a declaration-based system to a fully data-driven customs model.

SUMMARY:Mastering Incoterms 2020: Risk\, Cost & Control in Global Trade
DESCRIPTION:The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Belgium invites professionals involved in international trade to a practical training session on Incoterms® 2020\, the globally recognised rules that define the responsibilities of buyers and sellers in cross-border transactions. \nIncoterms clarify who arranges transport\, who bears risk\, and who is responsible for costs at each stage of a shipment. A clear understanding of these rules is essential for avoiding disputes\, unexpected costs and contractual uncertainty in global trade. \nThis in-depth training will explore how to apply Incoterms® 2020 effectively in international contracts\, including their impact on transport arrangements\, risk transfer\, cost allocation and trade documentation. The session will also address current challenges in international trade and discuss areas that may evolve in a future revision of the rules. \nThe programme will include expert guidance\, practical examples and interactive case studies\, allowing participants to work through real-world trade scenarios in small groups. \n\nKey Information\nDate: Tuesday\, 17 March 2026Time: 13:30 – 18:30 CETLocation: ICC Belgium\, c/o VBO-FEB\, Ravensteinstraat 4\, 1000 BrusselsLanguage: English \nFees:ICC + BLCC Members: €195 (excl.
