CUS204 Principles of Cargo Control (8)
Abstract
In this subject students examine the concepts of Customs control as it relates to the measures applied by border managers to ensure compliance with the laws and regulations for which they have administrative responsibility in respect of cargo movements across borders. Students will gain an understanding of the essential techniques and procedures which allow border managers to accurately identify areas of high risk and concentrate resources in those areas while allowing the majority of goods to pass across the border with minimal intervention |
