INFORMATION ABOUT BREXIT AND POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES
There is a possibility that the United Kingdom (UK) will leave the European Union on March 29. Once the United Kingdom is no longer part of the European internal market and the customs union, there will be no free movement of goods. From that moment, different trade agreements will be applied with the United Kingdom.
This will result in additional customs controls and regulations for export and import and will result in an additional administrative burden.
There are 4 stage:
NO BREXIT: There are no consequences. Everything remains the same.
BREXIT BLANDO: A commercial agreement is agreed. The consequences remain limited. Border controls.
BREXIT DURO: A transitional period until 31.12.2020, during which the consequences are still limited. After 31.12.2020, hard borders will be introduced. There is a commercial agreement with the EU, but shipments must be cleared through customs. Border controls.
BREXIT WITHOUT AGREEMENT: In the absence of a commercial agreement, the United Kingdom will become a third country. Shipments must be cleared through customs. Full import duties must be paid. Border checks.

EORI NUMBER
An EORI number is required when negotiating with non-EU countries. Request an EORI number, we can support you on how to request it.
IMPORT
We also advise you, if you import goods from the United Kingdom, to request a Regulation in accordance with article 23 of the tax and customs administration. This prevents you from having to pay VAT on import immediately after each settlement. Article 23 shifts the payment of VAT to the monthly settlement or 2 months of VAT.
