The challenge
When you’re running an international business, the smooth transition of your goods from and into the UK couldn’t be more important. Your goods not only need to arrive, they must arrive without delay.
However at the end of the Brexit transition period, there will be new customs formalities to address the movement of goods to and from the EU. The UK government are estimating that an additional 205 million customs declarations* will be filed annually. And, with 180,000 traders^ making customs declarations for the first time in January 2021, some may not know that the process can actually be simplified depending on their trading requirements – saving them both time and money.
That’s why we’ve created Global Trade Bureau – it’s an end-to-end customs compliance solution that reviews your business’ trade needs and recommends the right customs procedure for you, taking care of your customs compliance requirements, declarations and filing when your goods arrive at the border. And, with the ability to review the end-to-end process, we’ll help keep your business moving.
