Why is it important?
Customs duty rates have been established on Ireland-UK imports from 1st January 2021. The manner in which trade was carried out between Ireland and the UK suffered major changes. Businesses now need to follow new rules and Customs Import and Export declarations (revenue.ie) are required.
How does it affect you?
All Irish businesses trading with the UK are required to possess core compliance knowledge and take the necessary actions. Different industry sectors are being affected by customs-related issues in different ways. It has become increasingly important for importers and exporters to know how to move their goods through customs in Ireland and the UK post the transition period, and also meet the regulatory requirements laid out by Revenue in ROI and HMRC in the UK.
How can we help?
At Export Edge, we are delivering customs preparation training programs, through both class-based and online, interactive virtual learning courses.

- Give you an in-depth understanding of the customs process and regulations to ensure that your declarations and returns to customs are accurate in order to avoid transit delays, customs fines and penalties,
