BREXIT UPDATES as of 28/03/2019

BREXIT UPDATES as of 28/03/2019

HM Government have issued the following guidance relative to a D1ND Brexit, which we are distributing for information

DEFRA

The date the UK leaves the EU in a No-Deal scenario has changed to 12 April. All previous guidance for EU and third country imports, including when to use TRACES and IPAFFS, remains applicable for the new No-Deal EU exit date. Please check GOV.UK at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/importing-animals-animal-products-and-high-risk-food-and-feed-not-of-animal-origin-after-eu-exit for the latest updates.

The Department thanks those businesses which have already registered for the Import of Products, Animals, Food and Feed System (IPAFFS) to import from third countries on EU exit Day 1. If affected traders haven’t registered already, we would suggest that you do so now to ensure you are able to notify of third country consignments coming into the UK from 11pm on 12 April. There is guidance on registration and raising notifications available https://www.gov.uk/guidance/import-of-products-animals-food-and-feed-system-ipaffs-guidance.

Please note our team will be conducting planned improvements to IPAFFS from 12pm Thursday 28 March to 8am Monday 1 April. You will experience a limited service while these further improvements are made, so we recommend not accessing the system during this time.

This email is part of a regular communication to prepare you for a Day 1 No-Deal scenario as a UK importer of animals, animal products and high-risk food and feed. We will continue to keep you informed but if you do have any non-technical questions you can email the team at BFPEUExit.ImportsExports@defra.gov.uk. 

Export Control Organisation

Further to the earlier bulletin released earlier this week, please note, as stated in the relevant Open General Licence (export of dual use items to EU member states), it will come into force at 11pm on 12 April 2019 if the UK leaves the EU without a deal.  The full text of the information can be viewed at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/open-general-export-licence-export-of-dual-use-items-to-eu-member-states

For general export control queries please contact our Helpline on 020 7215 4594 or exportcontrol.help@trade.gov.uk

VAT/HMRC

HMRC have issued further information relative to the VAT changes that will apply to parcels valued at under £135.00, further information can be found at  https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/communications-pack-import-vat-on-parcels-in-the-event-of-a-no-deal-eu-exit.

If the UK leaves the EU without a deal on 12 April 2019, the UK import VAT rules will change for goods sold to UK buyers that are sent in parcels worth £135 or less.   When the value for all goods in the parcel is £135 or less, sellers outside the UK must pay the UK import VAT for any parcels sent to UK buyers after 11pm GMT on 12 April. Sellers outside the UK include those in the EU, outside the EU, and the Channel Islands. This will include any goods worth £15 or less as they will no longer be eligible for the existing tax relief.

HMRC’s new, online parcel registration service is open and overseas businesses can register now and get their parcels reference so they are ready in case of no deal.

More information can be found at  GOV.UK.

Department for Transport

Good news, DfT have confirmed that the European Council has agreed the contingency proposal which will allow UK hauliers transport goods between the UK and the EU (and Norway) using UK operator licences for the rest of 2019 (without the need for ECMT permits).

There will be some new limitations on cross-border EU trade (Member State to Member State) and cabotage (for the first few months of a “no deal” the limit is 2 trips within 7 days after an unloaded international journey, for the following 3 month only 1 trip will be allowed within 7 days).

This will be from the Brexit date, which is currently set for 11pm on the 12th April.  ECMT permits will be required for deliveries/collections to 3rd countries but will not be required for a truck transiting through a 3rd country. e.g.  transiting Switzerland for Italy.   In cases where extra cross-border operations over and above what the new EU rules allow, ECMT permits may be used. Operators do need to be aware that ECMT is itself restricted and complex, so caution will be required.

The above is in reference to hauliers access to European markets , it does not negate the requirement for Customs procedures for the goods both in the UK and EU.

Door to door shipping from Riyadh to London

Among all expertise, Milky Way Logistics provides professional and bespoke solutions for all your door-to-door shipping enquiries from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to London, UK.

Door-to-door as it is self-explanatory, is the service that starts from the shipper’s door and ends by delivery at the consignee’s door.

In our door-to-door service, the shipper or consignee do not need to be an expert in logistics and transportation as an expert can take care of the whole process as their agent.

When moving goods, personal belonging or commercial goods globally, door to door shipping could be the most effective term in shipping as the freight forwarder takes care of the whole process from the shipper’s point up to the delivery point.

Process of door to door shipping

Upon the completion of any agreement for moving goods, and appointment of a freight forwarder, the goods will be collected from the shipper’s point by the freight forwarder and those would be moved to the forwarder’s depot.  Forwarder would be able to examine if the packing is appropriate for the chosen mode of transport. After controlling the packing requirements of International shipping, the forwarder will be able to book the transport option which could be booking space on a airplane or a space on a ship.

The departure will be schedule and based on that the formalities and documentation and custom entry will be arranged for.

In terms of formalities and custom rules, there are important rules set up by the government that should be considered in any imports to the UK.

Documentation

Documentation depending on the mode of transport could vary up to some extent but there are some documents also that are similar for different shipments. As an instance, the contract of carriage for shipping via airfreight is the Airway Bill whereas for a sea freight shipping it is the Bill of Lading and for a road freight is a CMR which is the Consignment note that contains the terms and conditions of the shipping and transport liabilities.

Accepted Packings for door to door shipping from Riyadh to London

Milky Way Logistics recommends using proper packing for goods that are being shipped door to door from Riyadh to London considering the distance and mode of transport and handlings required. However, Standard packing of pallets and crates of certain height are accepted for airfreight and in addition, containerized goods are accepted for sea freight. For road haulage the preferred packing is pallets which are the best for handling, storage and shipping.
