BREXIT Customs Clearance
The UK’s decision to trigger Article 50, leave the Single Market and the Customs Union will fundamentally change UK border controls, affecting Customs Clearance procedures.
BREXIT will impact all importers transporting goods into the UK and exporters moving goods out of the UK.
From the 1st January 2021 you will be required to submit an Import or Export declaration. It is estimated that an extra 50,000 customs entry staff will have to be employed in the UK to submit the additional declarations required. This may lead, in the short and medium term, to an over demand for customs support.
Dornack International has over 30+ years experience in short sea and deep sea freight movements, and we would be happy to help you ensure your companies transition through the new procedures in January 2021 and into the future. Dornack have the expertise to support you, in order to keep your business running as smoothly as possible.
If you have any questions relating to the new January 2021 Import and Export procedures, please do not hesitate to contact us, our team would be happy to help.
