Brexit Import & Export Guidance

Practical advice for a new reality

Brexit was the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. It was triggered by a referendum held in June 2016. The UK officially left the EU on January 31, 2020. The post-Brexit trade agreement between the UK and the EU was signed on December 24, 2020. Brexit has had a significant effect on freight and logistics operations in the UK. The new trade deal between the UK and EU has led to increased paperwork, delays at ports, and additional costs for customs declarations.

Now several years into Brexit, many are still getting to grips with new costs, new paperwork and new ways to move goods around Europe.
