Course Profile: On the 1st of January 2021 the UK exited the Brexit transition period and left the EU Customs Union and Single Market. For Northern Ireland (NI) this meant the introduction of the NI protocol and a new set of rules for buyers and productions in the NI film & TV drama industry to contend with when receiving purchase/rental equipment, props, costumes, materials etc., from Great Britain and beyond.
This course aims to give you the fundamental practical knowledge to understand the new customs and import rules in place and how they impact on your purchasing and procurement. We explore ways you can ensure continuity of sourcing and the elements you need to have in place to avoid unnecessary cost and disruption. This course is a must for buyers and purchasers in the NI film and TV drama industry.
