UK import formalities

printer Mail

The European Commission has published guidance for EU exporters on the UK’s deferred import formalities which apply until 31 December 2021.

The European Commission notes that, until 31 December 2021, authorised UK importers can defer customs declarations on the import of goods for up to 175 days. From 1 January 2022, standard import declarations must be made for all goods at the time of importation, unless a simplified declaration procedure applies.

UK importers may require EU exporters to make out a statement of origin for goods entering the UK, to ensure preferential treatment applies under the EU-UK Trade Cooperation Agreement.

From 1 January 2022, transporters of goods imported at locations where a pre-lodged declaration is required will need to use the Goods Vehicle Movement Service and provide evidence of the declaration before the goods can be loaded.
