ECA Brexit Briefing – March 2019

Importing and exporting

HM Revenue & Customs have provided guidance with videos about trading with the EU in a no-deal Brexit: [https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fguidance%2Fhelp-and-support-for-traders-if-the-uk-leaves-the-eu-with-no-deal%3Futm_source%3D3d794038-20b5-4a68-8c89-9e032acd8012%26utm_medium%3Demail%26utm_campaign%3Dgovuk-notifications%26utm_content%3Ddaily&data=02%7C01%7Cfergus.harradence%40beis.gov.uk%7Cb83f39de892e429b1c2308d73a8dc000%7Ccbac700502c143ebb497e6492d1b2dd8%7C0%7C0%7C637042252832980949&sdata=d0rU8S6bnCfYPlT3TR1BmwLoDpz%2F2D1iaFSNUcHG7Qk%3D&reserved=0 Help and support for traders in a no-deal Brexit].

Transitional simplified procedures for Imports

In addition to registering for (or now being sent an) EORI number, firms that are importing from the EU that wish to make use of transitional simplified procedures will need to register for these. The main benefits to firms of using these procedures are that they enable them to defer duties and the submission of an import declaration, minimising delays in the transport of products.

To register to use these procedures, firms will need:

* An EORI number.
* A VAT registration number.
* Their UK business name and address, and
* The contact details of the relevant person responsible for making the import declaration.

There is full guidance on the Gov.UK website, [https://www.gov.uk/guidance/register-for-simplified-import-procedures-if-the-uk-leaves-the-eu-without-a-deal https://www.gov.uk/guidance/register-for-simplified-import-procedures-if-the-uk-leaves-the-eu-without-a-deal].

Further information and guidance on Brexit:

ECA is working with the government’s Business Energy and Industrial Strategy team for Construction on an awareness programme to ensure industry is ready for trading in a ‘no deal’ scenario. Updates in this regard are being shared regularly via the member newsletter.

The government has created a 'Get ready for Brexit' site, please [http://www.gov.uk/brexit click here].

Furthermore, for a view from the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) on the impact of Brexit, please [https://www.eca.co.uk/getattachment/Business-Industry-Support/Commercial-and-Contracts/Brexit-risk-assessment/18-12-Modelling-the-future-estimating-the-impact-of-Brexit.pdf.aspx?lang=en-gb click here.]

For those who import products

HMRC has announced that businesses will be able to use simplified declarations and postpone payment of duties under Transitional Simplified Procedures (TSP) if there is a no-deal Brexit (although there will be additional information needed for controlled goods). The measures will be reviewed after three to six months and businesses will be given 12 months’ notice if they are to be withdrawn.

Businesses can sign up for TSP online from 7 February but they will need an EORI number to do this. Registration and information, including which ports TSP applies to, is available at [http://www.gov.uk/hmrc/eu-simple-importing www.gov.uk/hmrc/eu-simple-importing][http://www.gov.uk/hmrc/eu-simple-importing .] The list does include Hull, Tilbury, Dover, Immingham (Hull) and Felixtowe.

HMRC has written to all VAT-registered businesses which, if they import, they should have received already. [https://www.eca.co.uk/getattachment/Business-Industry-Support/Commercial-and-Contracts/Brexit-risk-assessment/HMRC_letter_to_traders-4-Feb.pdf.aspx?lang=en-gb Click to read letter.]
