Are You Prepared for the Eu Exit?

Webinar Overview:

On January 1, 2021, goods exported from the U.K. to the EU and imported into the U.K. from the EU will, for the first time, be subject to specific controls and require a customs declaration.

Topics will Include:

  • Discussing preparations to make declarations for goods into the UK & EU
  • Reviewing current software - will it carry out your entries for you?
  • GVMS
  • Customs facilitation - are your service providers ready for the transition?
  • Discussion: what impact will the EU exit have on international imports?
