Business owners dreaming of selling their products beyond Uganda’s borders are set to receive important guidance from the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA). The tax body is organizing a live online training session aimed at helping exporters understand how to move goods across borders the right way.
The webinar, known as Customs 101, will take place this Wednesday at 10:00am.
Many traders hesitate to explore foreign markets because export procedures often look confusing and technical. From paperwork to regulations, the process can feel overwhelming for beginners. URA’s session is designed to remove that fear by explaining each step in a way that is easy to follow.
Participants will be taken through the full export journey, starting from preparation of goods to final clearance. Specialists in customs procedures will explain the rules businesses must follow and why each requirement matters when trading internationally.
Key export documents will also be discussed in detail so that attendees understand what is needed and how to prepare it correctly. Mistakes in documentation are among the biggest causes of delays at borders, and this training aims to help traders avoid such costly errors.
URA officials will also share practical advice drawn from real experiences in cross-border trade. These insights are expected to help businesses save time, reduce unexpected expenses, and move goods more smoothly through customs systems.
The authority’s effort reflects a wider goal of promoting trade and supporting businesses that want to grow. By teaching exporters how to comply with procedures, URA is helping create a more efficient trading environment while boosting confidence among entrepreneurs.
Both small-scale traders and large companies stand to gain from the webinar. Whether someone is just starting out or already exporting but facing challenges, the session offers a chance to learn, seek clarification, and strengthen their knowledge.
With global markets offering new opportunities, understanding customs processes is more important than ever. URA’s Customs 101 webinar could be the stepping stone many businesses need to expand beyond local boundaries and compete on the international stage.
