Free On-Demand Courses | PCB Learning Center

[Update March 8, 2021]

Although in-class seminars remain postponed, our On-Demand Learning Center is open and still available free. Amid COVID19, all on-demand registration fees have been waived to provide you a learning alternative in today's physical distancing landscape. Stay safe!

-----

On-demand courses? Yes! Gone are the days where you’re confined to our touring schedule. Learn what you want, when you want and from the comfort of your own office or home. The choice is yours.

On-demand courses offer the same valuable content as our in-class seminars, but instead of a lecture-style presentation, we've sat our experts in global trade down for a Q&A-style interview. We have broken each topic down into bite-size modules.

Imagine a Netflix series, and your new favorite show is How To Import Into Canada (sounds exciting!). Within these 1-2 hour online courses - aka seasons - there are about 8 modules - aka episodes - of varying duration. You can play, pause, skip, rewind, fast forward, or even re-watch any module you'd like. With unlimited access, you can binge them all at once or tune in one by one at your own pace. You hold the remote control. 😉

Each course is moderated by me, Adriana Petty (aka Zamora). I take on the role of the importer/exporter asking our experts all the questions an international trader might have. From basic topics like what everyone's roles and responsibilities are to workshop elements like how to fill out a customs invoice field-by-field.

Sounds good right, but just like a new movie or TV show, it's hard to commit to watching something without seeing a trailer first, isn't it?

Figured as much, so we've compiled our current "trailers" in one place here for you to preview before committing to a whole "season".

Thumbnail - Customs Valuation
How To Value A Product For Customs
Are you responsible for your company's customs compliance into Canada or the US? If you are familiar with international trade then you likely know that customs valuation is only one of the many complex aspects of importing and exporting that you must consider. With so many rules surrounding each method of valuation (or appraisement) it is hard to know which is the correct method to apply. The CBSA, CRA, CBP and IRS are completely separate government agencies that at times value goods differently than one another; therefore, it is important to know what is acceptable to which agency.
Thumbnail - Classification
How To Classify A Product
Do you classify your product line for your company’s or customers’ customs documentation? Do you want to better understand how your customs broker determines an HS code? If yes, then this online workshop is perfect for you. You will learn the step-by-step process of accurate HS tariff classification, composition considerations and when binding rulings are recommended. There's a common misconception that tariff classification is as simple as looking it up in the tariff (and sometimes it is!); however, without considering all the aspects that play a role in the classification of a product, you may be inaccurately classifying it and therefore underpaying duty or worse, sometimes even overpaying.
