How to Avoid Your Goods Getting Stuck or Delayed at the Border

Border delays are costly, disruptive, and, in most cases, entirely avoidable. Yet in the post-Brexit era, many businesses continue to find their goods held up at the border due to incomplete declarations, unfamiliarity with border systems, or a failure to keep pace with evolving requirements. As the regulatory landscape between the UK and EU continues to develop, the margin for error is narrowing and the consequences of getting it wrong are becoming more significant.

In the post-Brexit era, businesses need to comply with a variety of customs rules and procedures to ensure their goods move smoothly over borders into international markets, including the EU. Traders, or their intermediaries, also need to be adept at using the IT systems that are used at the border for overseeing cross-border goods movements and compliance. Understanding those systems, and knowing how to use them correctly, is no longer optional for businesses that trade regularly across UK and EU borders.

This webinar brings together practical guidance on the rules, the systems, and the best practices that matter most, giving you and your team the knowledge to move goods across borders with confidence.
