In today’s hyper-connected global trade ecosystem, the accuracy and integrity of customs declarations are not just administrative necessities—they are strategic imperatives. Every year, millions of international shipments cross borders, each requiring precise documentation that complies with national and international customs regulations. Pideya Learning Academy presents the Customs Declaration and Submission Services training program to equip professionals with the technical knowledge, regulatory awareness, and operational insight required to manage customs submissions confidently and compliantly.
Customs compliance is increasingly under scrutiny. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), global trade in goods and services reached approximately US$32 trillion in 2024, a 6% rise from the previous year. However, accompanying this growth is a sharp rise in customs scrutiny and documentation errors. Industry reports reveal that 1 in 5 customs declarations contains at least one discrepancy, often resulting in costly penalties, cargo holds, and delayed delivery schedules. In this context, trained professionals who can competently prepare, review, and submit accurate customs declarations are essential to organizational success.
The Customs Declaration and Submission Services training by Pideya Learning Academy is structured to address these growing demands by offering participants a clear and comprehensive pathway into the world of customs declaration.

In doing so, it enables participants to manage declaration processes in line with modern digital frameworks and compliance protocols.
Throughout the program, participants will explore practical examples of declaration errors, review real-world customs compliance scenarios, and build fluency in interpreting key documentation.
