Customs & Excise Duties

---

On 31 December 2020, the transition period for the UK leaving the EU came to an end. This means that from 1st January 2021, UK-based businesses receiving goods from, or sending goods to anywhere outside of the UK are subject to a brand new customs regime.

Businesses need to prepare as many more shipments will require the completion of import or export declarations to get goods through customs.
