COURSE DESCRIPTION

This online course, run by the National Chamber of Exporters (NCE) of Sri Lanka, introduces the various procedural and regulatory aspects of exporting spices, garments, as well as fresh and processed food from Sri Lanka, including to the EU and SAARC markets.

It begins with a detailed overview of compliance, both with Sri Lankan national export regulations as well as with the requirements in place in the importing country. It then moves on to discuss packaging and labelling, sea and air freight procedures, before finally concluding with a discussion of the particular issues affecting the exports of spices, garments, and food from Sri Lanka, as well as the challenges facing these industries as a whole.

The course is facilitated by international trade-experienced tutors from NCE who are available to provide assistance and guide participants through the materials and activities. They will also be responsible for evaluating participant performance through case study assessments, which serve as the final test for the course.
