Qatar Chamber Concludes 33rd Session of Training Programme for Customs Brokers

Qatar Chamber recently concluded the 33rd session of its training programme for customs brokers and representatives.

Organised in collaboration with the General Authority of Customs (QAC), the month-long programme aimed to qualify customs clearance operators and enhance their knowledge of regulations related to customs procedures.

It further sought to advance the customs clearance profession, improve the performance of workers in this sector, provide high-quality customs services to the public, and reduce congestion at customs ports.

The training covered a wide range of topics, including preferential international agreements, customs procedures, customs tariffs in accordance with the harmonised system, provisions and rules of origin, customs law, and the Al-Nadeeb Programme.

Since its inception in 2015, the programme has played a pivotal role in preparing many customs brokers and representatives. Upon completion, trainees receive attested certificates from Qatar Chamber that qualify them to take the final test administered at the premises of QAC.

The chamber regularly organises this programme as part of its efforts to equip the Qatari business community with skilled customs brokers, thereby facilitating and expediting clearance procedures at the country's ports.
