Free Trade Agreement with the EU
The origin of goods being exported to the EU will be done by self-certification via a declaration on the invoice which must include a UK EORI number. For exports from the EU to the UK, EU exporters will use the REX system. This will also be used for goods entering Northern Ireland. The origin declaration will be similar to the UK-Japan agreement

The expert team at the Aberdeen & Chamber of Commerce helped us understand the complexities and produce the necessary paperwork. So far, they have enabled the safe arrival of seven shipments from Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and Lithuania. They even helped us with a deferment account and postponed VAT accounting.
If you are involved in importing goods from or exporting goods to the EU, give the ChamberCustoms team a call.
