READY FOR BREXIT

The 31st of October 2019 is the new deadline for the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union – a process known as ‘Brexit’. While there is still no certainty around what Brexit will mean, businesses that sell to and buy from the UK need to get ready for Brexit.

As much as we can, VIM is also preparing for Brexit. We’re training a VIM Brexit expert, internally. We follow Brexit news, attended many Brexit seminars and keep customers up-to-date as well as possible. We advise to keep preparing for the Brexit to ensure your company is ready.

BREXIT TO DO:

Register with customs – EORI number
No relationship with Customs yet? Then register for an EORI number with Customs as soon as possible. Every company in Europe involved in import or export requires such a unique identification number from Customs. Also, if you are an exporter who uses a forwarder or customs agent for your export declarations.

Good Classification
Ensure you have the commodity code for your goods

Correct Commercial Invoice
Make sure you have the Correct Commercial Invoice

Authorization direct representation
Agreement / Authorization for direct representation in customs matters


BE AWARE OF BREXIT CONSEQUENCES:

  • Customs duties, an increase of costs
  • Customs formalities, more needed documents per shipment
  • Greater administrative burden
  • Longer transit times
