The departure of the UK from the European Community (EC) and the end of the Transition Period means that many business have become exporters and importers for the first-time.

When the UK were members of the EC, goods bought and sold with businesses from other member countries were treated as “arrivals” and “dispatches”, and exempt from duty charges.

Now, all goods arriving into or leaving the UK will be be subject to the controls applied by Revenues and Customs authorities of the receiving country.

These changes bring with them different ways of working and, potentially increased costs and more pressure on cash flows.

We work with organisations to support them through these processes and help them take advantages of the Government schemes which exist to help traders minimise their duty burden and ensure that the customs processes are fully compliant.
