The transport of goods across borders, whether works of art, personal property or merchandise, is subject to strict customs rules. Any person or any company engaged in export or import must submit a detailed declaration to the relevant authorities. This requirement aims to control the flow of goods, to apply customs duties, and to prevent fraud.
An incorrect declaration can lead to substantial customs penalties, jeopardising the profitability of your operations. Given the ever-evolving international regulations and the complexity of customs procedures, entrusting this process to a professional became essential. Such a professional possesses the technical knowledge and tools necessary to ensure compliance with current regulations, to optimise your customs clearance costs and to save you valuable time.
The Brexit redefined trade relations between the UK and the EU, and led to a complete overhaul of customs procedures. Goods traded between the UK and European countries are now subject to the same customs rules as those applicable to trade with third countries. Additionally, very strict sanitary and phytosanitary checks are carried out on goods entering the territory. These goods are also subject to VAT and, in some cases, customs duties.
