Introducing The Learning Center

Since 2007 you have been able to access our Trade Compliance Education program, first compiled of in-class seminars and a few years later webinars were added to the mix.

Seminars were great for face-to-face interactions, but pinned you down to a specific date, time and place. Webinars were great for those who could not travel to our location for a seminar, but they still pinned you down to a predetermined date and time, which for a global market isn’t the best when the webinar you’re interested is being hosted at 2:00 am your time. They were also short and very condensed snippets of the seminars, because let's be honest, it’s hard to not get distracted while watching a 3-hour presentation on Tariff Classification or CFIA regulations.

Gone are the days where you’re confined to our hosting schedule! Now you can learn when you want, where you want, and in bite sized chunks.

PCB Learning Center's On-Demand Courses

On-Demand courses offer all the content within our in-class seminars, but have been broken down into modules. For example, How To Import Into Canada Part 1, a great course to refresh your understanding of regulations or for those new to a trade role, is comprised of 7 modules. Each Part of the series is no more than 60 minutes long making it a total commitment of 2 hours for the bundle. Binge them all at once like your favorite Netflix series or tune in one by one at your own pace. You hold the remote control! ;)

How To Classify A Product $130

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!
