The UK is no longer an EU member state. It is not part of the customs union or single market and therefore different rules apply to exporting and importing. For many EU businesses, this is a confusing time. Many have concentrated on EU sales and consequently have limited experience of customs declarations, licenses, VAT on imports and rules of origin.

This guide aims to identify the main points you need to consider to export from the EU to the UK in the post-Brexit era, summarised at the end into a handy step-by-step guide.
We hope you find it useful!
The download includes six critical areas that EU businesses must cover, including the HS Code, customs declarations, incoterms and rules of origin. At the end, we’ve also included a handy checklist of 10 points to help ensure you’re ready to export into the UK.
