Opening the IOE&IT’s ‘Commodity Code Advent Calendar’ this Christmas
We’re now in the run-up to Christmas and we can’t wait to celebrate on 25 December.
Before then, though, the Institute of Export & International Trade (IOE&IT) is getting into the festive spirit by opening a treat every day in its brand-new advent calendar.
But this is no ordinary advent calendar. Ho ho ho no. This year, we have a calendar from St Nick’s, a Lapland-based fast parcel operator.
“Our ‘Commodity Code Advent Calendar’ may not be the best-seller in major retailers, but it contains vital information for businesses that are importing or exporting festive goods this December,” said St Nick’s customs and trade specialist, and lead elf, Lyn Dewsbury.
Each (working) day, we’ll open up the code that a trader may need to use for classifying their different festive goods.
So not only are we getting a fab surprise each day, we’re also ensuring our Christmas consignments are compliant.
Merry Christmas!
