For British firms, the Brexit trading arrangements have meant that the customs paperwork required has increased dramatically. When it comes to declarations and clearance paperwork needed for numerous commodities, it is crucial to know what specifications are for your cargo. We recommend doing your research and speaking to your customs agent and freight forwarding company for advice. You will also need an EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification Number) for both the EU and another for the UK. Refer to our blog What is an EORI Number to get started.
