24/03/2026 - From Order to Clearance: The Reality of Customs Procedures

The Department of International Business cordially invites you to a guest lecture by Ing. Timofej Timofejev, an expert in customs procedures, who will share practical insights into international trade and customs compliance.

The lecture will address the following topics:

  1. The customs process in practice – the journey of a shipment from order placement to its release into free circulation.
  2. The role of Trade Compliance in companies – the classification of goods (HS/TARIC), cooperation with customs brokers, and internal compliance processes.
  3. Prohibitions and restrictions in international trade – dual-use goods, export controls, and sanction regimes.
  4. US customs policy and its impact on global trade – tariffs, trade restrictions, blockades of selected countries or technologies and their impact on international supply chains.
  5. Common mistakes and risks in international trade – incorrect classification, origin of goods, and declared value.
  6. Practical case studies – selected real-world situations in the field of trade compliance and customs controls.

A discussion will follow.

We look forward to welcoming you!

WHEN: Tuesday, 24 March 2026, from 3 pm to 4:20 pm.

WHERE: MUP Prague-Jarov building, Učnovská 100/1, Lecture Hall “Sál”.
