    How Has Brexit Affected Imports from Denmark?

    British importers face additional customs checks and potential tariffs when importing from Denmark than they once did. Proper classification of goods using Harmonised System (HS) codes is now needed to determine applicable duties. Compliance with both UK and EU regulations is mandatory to ensure smooth and lawful trade between the two countries. Barrington Freight can assist with the extra paperwork demands as well as manage the transportation of your Danish imports if required.

    DANISH IMPORT INFORMATION

    Importing from Denmark to the UK: Costs, Procedures, and Common Imports

    VAT Responsibilities When Importing from Denmark: What Do You Need to Know?

    VAT is applied upon entry into the UK for nearly all commercial goods sourced in Denmark. Businesses can reclaim this as input VAT, however. Ensure your VAT registration is complete if your annual turnover means your company is near or above the threshold. Make use of VAT deferment accounts since this can help manage your firm’s bank balance when settling import VAT.

    Import Duty When Buying from Danish Suppliers

    Accurate classification of goods is essential to determine applicable duties under the UK Global Tariff. Excise duties may apply depending on the commodity. Barrington Freight offers in-house customs clearance services to handle these complexities, ensuring correct duty assessment and compliance.

    Your Step-by-Step Guide for Arranging Imports from Denmark
    1. Verify Product Compliance: Ensure the products of components you wish to import meet all relevant UK regulations, including safety and quality standards.
    2. Obtain an EORI Number: This Economic Operator Registration and Identification number is essential for all international trade activities with Denmark. For information on applying, read What is an EORI Number.
    3. Identify the Correct Commodity Code: Proper classification determines applicable tariffs and duties, something you need to get right.
    4. Complete Necessary Declarations: Barrington Freight’s customs clearance team can manage this process unless you have an agent in-house with the right skill set.
    5. Organise Transportation: Select the most suitable option from full-load to palletised delivery options.
    6. Track and Monitor Shipments: We will provide updates and alter the driver’s route if there are delays on the roads between Denmark and the UK.
