As a result of Brexit, the British government will start further tightening customs rules at the British border as of 1 January 2022. This has consequences for everyone who exports to the UK.
Taking the above into consideration, the following action is needed from all parties exporting to the UK:
Introduction of border entry models
Cargo access to British ports will take place from 1 January 2022 via the pre-lodgement or temporary storage model. Each port makes its own choices in this regard.
End of six-month deferral of UK import declarations
The UK’s six-month grace period for filing import declarations will be abolished. Without a correct further declaration, cargo cannot continue in the British port (temporary storage) or even in the Dutch port (pre-lodgement).
