On December 17, 2020, a free educational seminar of the REC Export School on the topic "Logistics in export activities" will be held. Omsk entrepreneurs will be trained in the procedure of moving goods from seller to buyer and logistics tools.
The Omsk Region Export Support Center carries out its activities within the framework of the national projects "International Cooperation and Export", "Small and medium-sized entrepreneurship and support for individual entrepreneurial initiative". Representatives of small and medium-sized enterprises of the Omsk region who export their products and services or are interested in starting export activities are invited to participate in the training seminar.
During the seminar, students will learn about all stages of the movement of goods from the seller to the buyer: choosing a provider of transport and logistics services, legal support for logistics and registration of transport documentation, insurance of products against logistical risks, selection of suitable containers, packaging and labeling of goods, warehousing, analysis of existing means of international transportation and the use of postal services, electronic platforms and databases in logistics.
"The logistical procedures of the export transaction are agreed upon by the partners in advance to include the cost of delivering goods in the cost of the foreign trade contract. Logistics costs can average from 10 to 30% of the cost of the goods, but a well-designed transportation process helps to minimize these costs. It is important that entrepreneurs will be able to learn about government support and subsidization of export transportation," the Export Support Center noted.
Applications for participation in the seminar are accepted until December 16, 2020 inclusive. Registration must be completed on the website of the REC Export School in the "Study Calendar" section.
