ARTSECO Customer-Training
Not content just to provide transport and storage services, we organize training courses, workshops and specialist talks touching on the whole spectrum of art logistics. This enables you to give your staff a greater insight into this sector, including the issues of transport, customs and much more.
This training benefits all involved: fruitful communication requires that we talk about the same things using the same language and helps us achieve our goals together. It accelerates all the processes involved, fosters a joint understanding and facilitates top quality results.
This compact workshop provides an insight into the most common customs procedures. We do not provide training to become a customs broker and we will not transform your staff into dispatch experts.
