EU EXIT TRANSITION PERIOD

The UK has left the EU. There is now a transition period until the end of 2020 while the UK and EU negotiate additional arrangements. The current rules on trade, travel, and business for the UK and EU will continue to apply during the transition period. New rules will take effect on 1 January 2021.

Resources for businesses:

The Government's website provides national guidance for preparing businesses and individuals for the UK exiting the EU. There will be new rules for living, working, travelling and doing business in the UK and EU from 1 January 2021. We would encourage you to prepare now, follow this link to check how to get ready for new rules in 2021.

Actions you can take now that do not depend on negotiations:

From 1 January 2021 you will need to make customs declarations to move goods into and out of the EU. You should:

• get an EORI number if you do not already have one
• decide how you want to make customs declarations and whether you need to get someone to deal with customs for you.
