BREXIT - The clock is ticking

Date Added: 21.03.2019

Due to the ongoing uncertainty and with the 29th March fast approaching, we are being forced to move from preparation stage to put in place our no deal BREXIT action plan. The aim of this notice is to give brief guidance, and an update of what this means for our customers on the assumption now that we will leave the EU at 23:00 Hrs Friday 29th March.


European Export services

  • As of Thursday 28th March we will pause all exports into Europe.

This means the last day of collections under 'EU conditions' will be Wednesday 27th March.
(This is to allow us to ensure cargo reaches Europe before any restrictions apply).

  • From Thursday 28th unless the situation changes, we will not collect any shipment bound for Europe without the required  documentation listed  below. An email scan will be requested at the point of booking, and before collection takes place.

European Import services

As of Tuesday 26th March we will start to pause all European import services.

This means the last day of collections under 'EU conditions'will be Monday 25th March.
(This is to allow us to ensure cargo reaches the UK before any restrictions apply).

From Tuesday 26th unless the situation changes, we will not collect any shipment bound for the UK without the required documentation listed  below. We will request a copy of your suppliers Invoice to you, in order to call the shipment forward with our EU partners.

Documentation

  • Packing details (or packing list)
  • Weight
  • Sales value and currency

  2. Act now: Establish the Customs commodity codes and incoterms for your goods. This will allow you to apply the correct rate and amount of Duty and keep you compliant with HMRC https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff
