Description of content and objectives

This meeting is the Varese leg of the national roadshow "Zero Duty. Training sessions on the classification and origin of goods", for which the Industrial Union of the Province of Varese is a local partner. This initiative is promoted and supported by the Ministry of Economic Development, Confindustria, the Customs and Monopolies Agency, and the Italian Trade Agency (ICE).

The morning session will feature in-depth analysis regarding the customs classification of goods and their origin (both non-preferential and preferential).
