The Border Operating Model - Get ready for upcoming changes

Institute of Exports have published the following.

Full customs controls and checks will commence on 1 January 2022 for goods entering Great Britain from the EU. 

The UK government has recently confirmed that it will not postpone this deadline. This means that import customs declarations will be mandatory from 1 January 2022 and can no longer be delayed for such goods. 

You can complete these declarations yourself or use an agent BUT even if using an agent, the legal responsibility for accuracy of the data included falls to the importer. 

Prepare for the changes 

Don’t get caught out. The IOE&IT has created a suite of courses here to ensure your business and staff are prepared for these significant changes: 

• Trading with the EU 
• Completing customs declarations 
• Introduction to importing 
• Advanced importing 
• Customs procedures and documentation 
• How to classify your goods
