On 24^th of December the EU/UK agreed a post-Brexit trade deal and from 1^st of January new rules applied:

• Customs declarations will be required.
• Commercial Invoices are required which contain information required for customs clearance.
  > Preparation tips
• As an exporter you are responsible for identifying and notifying Controlled Goods into IPAFFS in the UK or TRACES NT for shipments to the EU 24 hours before they reach the boarder.
• As an exporter you are responsible for identifying and obtaining licenses and permits for goods where appropriate - for example Dual Use Goods.
• Goods traveling into and out of the UK to the EU must be on packaging that conforms to ISPM15.
  > New requirements for Wood Packaging Material
• Safety and Security declarations will be required. This will be looked after by DB Schenker on behalf of our customers.
• Importers will need to make provision to pay VAT. The way this is done depends on local country rules.
• Shipments to Ireland (although still in the EU) will require a Commercial Invoice so that the appropriate Transit documentation can be created.
