Welcome to CustomsLink - we have a dedicated customer journey to help you through the customs process.
How will Customs formalities affect me and my business as a TRADER / EXPORTER from 1st January?
From the 1st January the UK becomes a ‘third country’ to the EU and leaves the single market. As such customs formalities will be in place, regardless of a ‘deal’ being brokered between the UK and EU.
Customs is about capturing and compiling the correct data and declaring it to the relevant authorities when goods are entering/leaving a customs territory. This advises the customs authorities who will, in turn collect the tariffs and duty to be paid according to the data submitted.
You also need to provide your supply chain (freight forwarders etc) with the documentation they need to clear the borders on their route.
When you use CustomsLink you simply:
1) Upload your goods and sales data including licences and certificates. We can help you correctly classify your commodities with our Tariff Classification service. The CustomsLink platform can help/advise you if the commodity you are shipping requires certificates, licences or authorisations.
2) Invite your Haulier to upload their Vehicle and route details.
3) Get your documents. The CustomsLink platform will work out what declarations and documents are needed and submit them to the relevant bodies.
