GOING GLOBAL PLANNING FORDEALOR NODEAL


The Chamber’s INTERNATIONAL TRADE TEAM can help you navigate your way through all of the regulatory procedures and documents that you’ll need for successful international trading


The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) has been engaging extensively with HMRC over recent months to suggest ways to minimise the disruption to international trade in the event of a no deal Brexit. The suggestions were based on feedback from the 53 Chambers and thousands of members across the Accredited BCC Network. Following this engagement the Government released a series of announcements to ease the flow of goods in a no-deal scenario. This included the introduction of transitional simplified procedures (TSP) for customs as a means of avoiding prolonged checks at the border and gridlock on the motorways in the event of a no deal. Milton Keynes Chamber of Commerce chief executive Paul Griffiths said


the TSP arrangements were to be welcomed but urged businesses to be alert to the new requirements. He said: “This is Government planning for every eventuality, including a


no deal scenario. “Businesses are being advised that they should be similarly prepared for


leaving the EU. Once businesses are registered for TSP, they will be able to transport goods from the EU into the UK without having to make a full customs declaration at the border and will be able to postpone paying any import duties.


“These simplifications will be available for an undefined time period, but


12 months’ notice will be given if changes are being made by Government.” HMRC is also reminding businesses to get an economic operator


registration and identification (EORI) number as soon as possible. This number is crucial to be able to trade after Brexit in the event of no


deal. Obtaining an EORI number can be done online and takes 10 minutes. To stay up to date with the latest Brexit information visit the Brexit


pages in the International Trade and Representation sections of the Chamber’s website.
