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.
