Navigating Compliance in a Post-Brexit World

Sarah Collins , Head of Strategy

A practical guide for businesses trading across the UK-EU corridor: map every product to the correct 10-digit HS code, file safety-and-security declarations 24 h pre-departure via the free ICS-TRACES portals, keep digital supplier declarations proving EU origin so goods ship under 0 % duty, use postponed VAT accounting to reclaim import VAT the same quarter, and consolidate loads through Rotterdam or Calais “smart” border hubs where pre-cleared pallets cross in under 45 min without extra paperwork or surprise storage fees.
