    How Has Brexit Altered the Exportation Process From the UK to Austria?

    We have decades of experience shipping across the continent and work to make the entire transporting process stress-free even with the additional post-Brexit customs obligations. There are many new regulations as Britain is not part of the EU anymore while Austria is still an EU member. As such, they follow the applicable rules of the Eurozone for importing alongside some of their own. It is essential that you are aware of all customs obligations to ensure quick and easy transit of your cargo or ask us to handle this aspect of exporting to Austria for you.

    Nowadays, British exports to Austria are treated as those from a foreign country with a host of different customs considerations that you need to be aware of depending on what cargo you are sending. One such requirement is an EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification Number) number which must be held for both the UK and EU and will be checked on each side of the borders. Our blog What is an EORI Number has more information on this particular requirement.

    Barrington Freight handled our first import from China and made a complicated job feel simple. Simon Poole guided us through the customs paperwork, postponed VAT and commodity codes patiently, answering a great many questions from someone importing for the first time. Our delivery address is a narrow street with no forklift, and he arranged a smaller vehicle with a tail-lift so the crates could be offloaded by hand without difficulty. The shipment cleared ahead of schedule and, once we'd paid, delivery was arranged for the very next day with a time window confirmed in advance. Excellent communication throughout and genuinely helpful. Highly recommended.

    We had a fantastic experience importing our goods from Florida and honestly couldn’t fault the service. The quote was quick and easy, booking was straightforward and everything was handled smoothly from start to finish. As this was our first import we needed a bit of guidance along the way but Simon was brilliant. He took care of everything, kept us updated throughout and was always on hand to answer our questions. What seemed like a complicated process was made incredibly simple and stress free. The customer service was excellent, communication was spot on and our shipment arrived without any issues. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable freight forwarder. Thanks again for making our first import such a positive experience!

    We needed to get a shipment out to the USA quickly and Simon made the whole process far easier than we expected. Communication was straightforward, we were kept updated throughout, and everything arrived on time without any issues. It's refreshing to deal with someone who knows exactly what they're doing and gets things done. We'd happily use Simon again for future air freight shipments.

    We had a time-critical air freight shipment coming in from China to the UK and Simon was a huge help in getting it over the line. Right before arrival, an issue came up due to a mistake from the airline, which could have turned into a real headache. Simon picked it up straight away, dealt with it quickly and managed to sort everything without any extra costs on our side. Really solid support throughout and easy to deal with, especially given the urgency. Another great job by Barrington Freight - we’ll definitely be using them again!

    Good service during a turbulent global shipping period. Special thanks goes to Lee for his efficiency and proactive updates and for rescheduling a delivery in less than 24hrs when the haulage company didn’t read their own paperwork and sent a lorry without the requested tail lift. Highly recommended.

A special thanks to Simon, who has been outstanding—always professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!

    VAT and Duty When You Export to Austria, Plus Our Step-By-Step Guide

    VAT AND EXPORTS TO AUSTRIA

    For UK businesses registered for VAT, exporting to Austria can often be zero-rated if specific conditions are met. In Austria, VAT is known as Mehrwertsteuer (MwSt), with the standard rate at 20%. To benefit from zero-rating, ensure that your Austrian customer is VAT registered and provides their VAT number.

    DUTY AND EXPORTING GOODS FROM THE UK TO AUSTRIA

    Duty rates vary depending on the type of goods being exported and Austria’s specific regulations. Proper classification using Harmonised System (HS) codes is essential for determining applicable duties. Accurate documentation and adherence to these classifications are vital for compliance and our team is available to assist with this process.

    YOUR STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO EXPORTING TO AUSTRIA
    1. Verify Compliance: Ensure your goods meet both UK and Austrian standards, including necessary certifications.
    2. Obtain an EORI Number: This is a must for exporting goods from the UK to Austria these days.
    3. Classify Your Products: Use the UK government’s Trade Tariff tool to assign the correct commodity codes.
    4. Prepare Export Documentation: Organise all necessary documents, including invoices, packing lists and export licenses.
    5. Choose a Reliable Freight Forwarder: Partner with Barrington Freight, your specialists in European exports across various industries.
    6. Plan Transportation: Select the best method for transporting your goods based on size, type and urgency.

    • Graz: Known for its industrial sector, Graz is a strategic hub for distributing goods across southeastern Austria and neighbouring countries, such as Hungary.
    • Linz: With its strong manufacturing base, Linz supports efficient export activities from the UK to northern and central Austria.
    • Innsbruck: Situated in the Alps, Innsbruck provides access to western Austria and offers vital connections for road freight through Germany and Switzerland.
