Image

A lot has changed for companies trading between the European Union and the United Kingdom since January 1st of 2021. The United Kingdom is no longer a member of the European Union. This means an end to the free flow of goods to and from the United Kingdom. 

The European Union and the United Kingdom struck a trade deal that the European Parliament recently ratified. Customs Authorities on both sides have implemented new processes and procedures, impacting companies on both sides.


63 % of companies feel Brexit impact

The Dutch-British Chamber of Commerce concluded that almost two-thirds of companies in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom are impacted negatively by Brexit. For companies in the logistics sector, this percentage is even 80%.

Hurdles when importing and exporting

Many of the hurdles companies face post-Brexit are related to the new customs procedures and the documents needed to declare your goods and have them pass through customs without delay.
