Gerlach Brexit Special

If the UK leaves the EU without a deal, you’ll need an EORI number to continue trading between the EU and UK. You can apply for an EORI number now, even if you don’t use it. Please find further information here.

You’ll need to make customs declarations to import and export goods between GB and EU countries once the UK is outside of the EU’s customs territory.

If you’ve only ever traded within the EU, or if you already trade with non-EU countries but need to expand or change your processes to cover your GB-EU imports and exports, you should start to prepare now to make customs declarations, by contacting your local Gerlach office. As the largest neutral Customs service provider in Europe we are able to offer a single solution to mitigate your company’s Brexit risk for all your trade in all of the European countries as well as the UK. Please find an overview of all Gerlach offices here.

With the appropriate deferment account, any import VAT due is only paid on the 15th of the month following the month of import. This means importers can delay cash payment by an average of 30 days. But you need to provide a financial guarantee in order to obtain this. Please find further information here.
