How to Complete Customs Export Entries

Jimmy O'Connell, Training Manager, Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce

How to complete a customs export entry legally and compliantly avoiding fines and delays at port

Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce

Overview:

Completing export customs entry declarations is an important task and it is essential that both the freight company (intermediaries) and the exporting businesses are aware of the information required to complete a legal declaration. 
 
With the UK leaving the EU by the end of January 2020, and the real concern over there being a no-deal exit, it is more important than ever that businesses are aware of what is required to prepare for the potential increase in the number of export customs declarations needed.
