Importing From Poland - UK

[chowiekid]

Good Morning

Im trying to get my head around the current rules.
We have our first lorry load due to arrive from Europe this year around the end of Jan.

I wonder if someone can help, what do i actually need to do for this load? will the Transport company i use just arrange things differently, or is there something i need to do, I have an EROI number and i assume i just move product as before?

Thanks in advance!

You will need a customs agent. Supply them with a copy of the commercial invoice. The invoice should contain :

Sellers details and buyer details
value
Commodity codes
Description of goods
Country if origin
Mrn number from exporter
Transit document number
You can use a deferment account or postponed Vat method to avoid up front vat payment. Duties are most likely zero
Freight costs unless DAP. and insurance costs.

Also Vehicle details / nationality

I don't think I've missed anything.
I am an agent and not had an issue yet, but it's early days.

This is maybe stupid of me but where can I find a customs agent. Any of my current contacts for importing from the Far East are saying they can’t offer any help.

You say your an agent, can you assist?
