The Global Forwarding customs teams in the UK and EU have consolidated services, to include foodstuff compliance and fiscal representation, while our transport division continue to expand our commercial fleet, with the recent addition of three more trailers.
While growing the Global Forwarding fleet the transport team continue to work closely with our continental partners and carriers to extend the scope of EU-wide FTL and LTL services.
Service design for our road freight services is a primary point of focus, but so too is customs compliance solutions and tracking technology, to deliver visibility and control of the supply chain.
Since Brexit, the UK is considered as a third country and transactions with the EU are no longer intra-community, but considered as imports and exports, which means that VAT and duties need to be paid in the country of import, creating a trade barrier for many exporters.
Some EU importers are comfortable arranging import clearances and our standard T form service will accommodate those movements, across single and multiple borders.
However, some EU importers will not want to arrange clearance and we have created a range of options that allow UK exporters to complete transactions with their EU customers, simply and seamlessly and even as if it were a domestic transaction.
The options are varied and can be adapted to suit specific transactions and customer relationships, as listed below.
The Delivered Duty Paid or ‘DDP’ Incoterm means the exporter takes responsibility for the transport of the goods and customs formalities in the UK and EU, by becoming the ‘Importer of record” in France or Holland, taking the burden away from the EU customer.
– Regime 42 is for DDP transiting France or Netherlands for another EU destination.
– Regime 40 is for DDP shipments where the exporter has a French or Dutch VAT number enabling clearance for free circulation in the EU.
