​​​​​​​Railway, university, teaching, and government staff are due to strike in cooperation on Wednesday 1st February. HMRC will not be striking, but your trade may be affected. Find out how in this article.

Are you an importer or exporter? Does your movement use the GVMS system, a T1 form, or maybe you are dealing with continuously ambiguous circumstances for trading between two countries – such as between the UK and the Republic of Ireland? Having a customs agent that looks after your declarations at both origin and destination saves you hassle. Here is how you can benefit from end-to-end customs clearance services:

Proposed by parliament in January 2022, The Brexit Freedoms Bill was first brought about to “get Brexit done” by targeting EU laws within the UK.

The Border Operating Model is the phased approach the British Government uses to implement border controls between the European Union and the United Kingdom now that the UK has left the EU. The first phase went live on January 1st, 2021. The second phase was postponed already before but has now been further delayed again.

Many companies are struggling with the new GVMS system that went live in the United Kingdom on 1 January 2022.

Since Brexit started, there has been no change in how companies in the European Union should handle importing goods from the United Kingdom. The European Union opted for complete border control from the immediate start of Brexit. The British Government chose a phased approach for companies exporting from the United Kingdom or importing into the United Kingdom.

2021 is running to an end. We are almost a year into Brexit, and a lot has happened since then. An increasing number of companies are getting used to the new situation and can trade between the European Union and the United Kingdom. Still, there are many companies that have no clear picture of what they need to do to successfully trade between the European Union and the United Kingdom. 

The first month of Brexit is behind us. As many companies built up stock on both sides of the British Channel to make sure there were no shortages, the first weeks were relatively quiet.
