October and November have been busy months for customs clearance. Lets take a look at all of the key things that have happened.
EXS FOR A FIVER
October saw the introduction of changes to Exit Summary Declarations. These declarations are now a necessary part of your transport between Great Britain and EU member states if you are transporting any of the following
- an empty pallet, container or vehicle is being moved under a transport contract, including empty reusable packaging such as stillages and roll-cages
- goods have remained in temporary storage for more than 14 days
- goods have remained in temporary storage for less than 14 days, but the import safety and security declaration details are unknown, or the destination or consignee has changed
- goods are moved under transit using either a transit accompanying document (TAD), a transit security accompanying document (TSAD) or a transport internationaux routiers (TIR) Carnet document
Whilst these declarations may seem like another hassle, CustomsLink continues to offer a helping hand with EXS's for just £5! This has proved to be a life saver for a lot of our customers and definitely something you should check out to save yourself from additional hassle.

PREPARATION FOR NEW GB BORDER CONTROLS
October marked the start of all of the impending customs changes with the new EXS requirements, but the changes don't stop there. In January you will see new changes happening within the sanitary and phytosanitary sector with changes set to affect POAO (Products Of Animal Origin) and HRFNAO (High-Risk Food or Feed Not of Animal Origin) that will require them to use IPAFFS from January 2022.
From January 2022, full EU-GB customs declarations and therefore GMR requirements will also be needed for all goods at the time of import. No GMR, no crossing.
Learn more about January changes to customs declarations and sanitary and phytosanitary goods, and how we can help.
That's it from us for the moment. If you need help with your customs clearance or would like a free demonstration of our platform, contact our expert team. Have a nice November!
