Traders have had to cope with huge changes to the customs regime since Brexit and there are still more to come.
Ruth Corkin, our VAT and customs expert, has put together a Customs Update seminar which aims to bring you right up to date and give you practical steps you can take to get ready for what’s to come.
What we will cover:

- Additional paperwork for all imports from 1 January 2024
- Why you may end up paying duty or double duty in the EU and how to mitigate that
- Changes to packaging and labelling requirements in GB

- What is the Single Trade Window (STW) and how to get ready. The STW aims to centralise all customs and excise interactions through a single technology platform. This concept is already implemented in New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States and the UK Government is committed to doing the same.
