Back Your easy Brexit solution for simplified customs clearance

The UK formally left the EU on 31st January 2020. With the end of the transition period on 31st December 2020, customs formalities became compulsory. Regardless of what the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement outlines, customs formalities are required for all goods crossing the borders between the EU and the UK.

​​​​​Make customs clearance a seamless experience for you

To avoid any unnecessary delays, disruptions at the border or hampered deliveries, your easy Brexit solution helps you cut through the complexity of the customs clearance process.

By automating export and import customs procedures at an early stage, we ease the pain of data collection. That way, your customs data is ready for clearance at the EU and UK border, whilst your shipments are already en route.

​​​Simple and straightforward, so you can focus on your business.

How does it work? Your easy Brexit solution digitally transfers export data from the shipper and collects import data from the consignee with an import validation process. As a result, export and import declarations are automated in compliance with both EU and UK requirements. It also takes care of additional demands, such as the safety and security messages that are required for every shipment.

​​​​​​EU and UK customs easements post-Brexit

Even with the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement in place, all movements of goods between both blocks are subject to customs procedures.

To simplify customs formalities the UK government has introduced a "staged approach" for imports into the UK. Based on this, UK importers have the opportunity to enter non-controlled goods under the so-called Customs Freight Simplified Procedure (CFSP), which offsets the need for a full frontier declaration until 31st December 2021.

What are the upcoming changes?

From 1st January 2022

  • UK import customs declarations required for all goods and deferred clearances no longer possible
  • Customs checks on UK imports from the EU
  • Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS) mandatory for imports into the UK
  • Pre-notification for products of animal origin (POAO) and documentary checks on the UK IPAFFS system
To avoid the risk of delays with transit procedures and to reduce the associated administration, at Kuehne+Nagel we provide the service of upfront UK full frontier declarations. This means that cargo will already be UK customs cleared prior to arrival at the European port of departure.

From 1st July 2022

  • Safety and Security declarations (ENS) required for all UK imports
  • Export Health Certificate required for POAO
  • Pre-notification for Sanitary and Phytosanitary products on the UK IPAFFS system
  • Physical checks at the Border Control Posts for animals and POAO, plus plants and plant products

In addition, traders can continue to utilise the postponed VAT mechanism, whereby import VAT only has to be accounted for, but not paid at the time of the entry into the UK.

If goods qualify for the Rules of Origin (RoO), zero duty tariffs may be applicable on both EU and UK entries. The importer is obliged to prove the preferential origin with a "Statement on origin" provided by the exporter, alternatively with records fulfilling the criteria defined by "Importers knowledge".


We manage your shipments both ways. Here is what we need to submit your exports and imports declarations:

For EU exporters and importers:
Power of Attorney to authorise Kuehne+Nagel to act as the direct representative in the completion and submission of customs declarations. To be completed only once. Please contact your European Kuehne+Nagel office for further instructions.

For UK exporters:
Letter of Empowerment to authorise Kuehne+Nagel to act as the direct representative in the completion and submission of customs declarations. To be completed only once. Learn more here.

For UK importers:
Letter of Authorisation to authorise Kuehne+Nagel to act as the direct representative in the completion of UK import customs declarations and to submit shipment data to the UK HMRC customs system. This authorisation is valid for a 12-month period. Without it, we must obtain authorisation for each individual shipment, which might lead to possible delays and incur additional costs.
