NEW GB customs rule change as per 1st of January 2022

Netherlands British Chamber of Commerce – From 1 January 2022, full customs controls will apply to all goods moving between the EU and Great Britain. If you move goods between the EU and Great Britain, you must register for the Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS) now. The GVMS system has been designed to enable fast and efficient movement of goods and will be used by many UK ports.

Postponement does not mean cancellation! Stricter customs rules in the UK for all inbound cargo as of 1 January 2022

Newsletter www.getreadyforbrexit.eu – As a result of Brexit, the British government will start further tightening customs rules at the British border as of the 1st of January 2022. This has consequences for everyone who exports to the United Kingdom (UK). If you and/or your chain partners do not meet the applicable requirements, your cargo cannot continue its journey in the British port or even already in the Dutch port. Prevent your cargo from being delayed or even sent back, with all the (financial) consequences this entails.

This newsletter explains what you need to do!

UK government will also help you on your way!

www.getreadyforbrexit.eu – Like the Dutch government, the British government is also making every effort to optimally inform you about all the new requirements that are applicable to transport to and from the United Kingdom since 1 January 2022.

Keep business moving – website

Lots of up-to-date information about the current and future rules for import and export in the UK is available at the UK government website Keep business moving.

Handbook for Hauliers

Through a Handbook for Hauliers, the UK government provides transport companies with a comprehensive reference guide detailing the rules for all different types of RoRo transport (accompanied and unaccompanied) between the European Union and the United Kingdom.

‘Keep Business Moving’ information booth Hoek van Holland

The British government has positioned an information booth outside of the Stena Line terminal in Hoek van Holland. Multilingual employees are available to answer any questions drivers might have about Brexit, the applicable requirements for entry to the UK in relation to corona, etc. The information booth is open daily from 06:00 to 22:00.

This is what the Dutch ferry operators ask of you

www.getreadyforbrexit.eu –All ferry operators operating from the Netherlands to the United Kingdom provide on their own websites essential information for a smooth crossing on their ships. Whichever ferry operator you choose: before you start booking always check the Brexit ins & outs on the relevant website.

Pre-lodgement and temporary storage: the applications by Dutch ferry operators

Each ferry operator in the Netherlands decides for itself which Border Entry model it chooses to use. Check the overview  here.

Temporary storage and pre-lodgement models change UK imports as per 1 January 2022

www.getreadyforbrexit.eu – Since 1 January, the UK government allows two different models for the entry of cargo into the UK.
A brief overview:

Model 1: Temporary storage

Goods entering the UK may be stored at a temporary storage facility at the border (often the terminal) for up to 90 days. As a transporter, nothing will change in your booking process or terminal visit. After having been declared to British Customs by the importer or their representative, the goods travel on to their final destination.

Model 2: Pre-lodgement

The British importer or their representative already submit the declaration before the ferry departs from the Netherlands. The transporter in the European Union must also take action before commencing to drive. Upon arrival in the UK, the cargo can next usually immediately continue, or the driver may be referred to an Inland Border Facility (IBF) for inspection.

When temporary storage, when pre-lodgement?

It is up to the British ports themselves to determine which access model(s) they want to use. The ports served by the Dutch ferry operators allow both models. Check this schedule for each ferry operator to see when temporary storage applies to your cargo and when pre-lodgement.

Read the info sheet temporary storage and pre-lodgement

No more deferral of import declarations in the UK

www.getreadyforbrexit.eu – Since the 1st of January 2022, the British importer (or their representative) must immediately submit an import declaration (temporary storage) upon arrival of the cargo in the UK; in the case of pre-lodgement, this must have already been submitted. Only then is the cargo allowed to proceed. With that, the British government is ending the transitional arrangement for a six-month postponement of import declarations.

Do this right away

Seek coordination with your chain partners in the UK
The new working method, which has been effective from the 1st of January 2022, makes it even more important that import declarations on the British side are always completed correctly and on time. Be sure to properly coordinate this with your British counterparts.
