Avoid Costly Port Delays

Don’t assume that if a product is legal in one country it’s legal to sell  across the EU.
Food, cosmetics, electrics, toys and furniture are covered by regulations and will often need new labels or may not be capable of complying.
The UK government uses customs declaration information to inform trading standards officers of goods entering UK ports that need checking.  Trading Standards Officers will be working closely with UKBF to detain and check such goods.
If the right paperwork is not in place Trading Standards may send samples to test houses and detain the goods until the results are back.

The UK has left the EU and there are new rules for import / export goods to avoid costly delays at EU and UK ports.

What has changed?

Imports  - If you're bringing EU goods into the UK you will be an importer rather than a distributor and your responsibilities will be much greater.

  • understand your responsibilities as an importer,

  • ensure the goods are labelled correctly,

  • ensure you are using the correct country of origin,

  • ensure the correct conformity assessment has been done,

  • ensure the goods have the correct conformity markings, CE, UKCA or UKNI.

  • Have the right safety documentation for the goods

  • register products as required such as, cosmetics.

  • register for an Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI) number.

 

Exports - if you’re sending goods to the EU, you will need to change the way you operate.
