1. EORI 3

EORI • EORI numbers granted by the UK will not be valid in the EU27 as of the date of withdrawal • Persons involved in trade between the UK and the EU27 must have a valid EORI number as of the date of withdrawal • Persons not established in the EU27 may only apply for EORI number in specific cases 4

2. Customs decisions 5

Customs decisions • Authorisations and BTI/BOI granted by the UK are no longer valid in the EU27 as of the date of withdrawal • Authorisations granted by the EU 27 including ‘UK elements’ must be amended as of the date of withdrawal • SASP authorisations  supplementary declaration covering UK only for period the day before withdrawal • Guarantee  guarantor established in the UK must be replaced by guarantor established in the EU27 after the date of withdrawal 6

3. Customs procedures 7

Customs procedures: entry of goods in EU • ENS lodged to UK as 1 st port of entry before withdrawal date are not valid after this date  need to lodge another ENS for subsequent ports • If ENS is lodged to the UK before the withdrawal date and a diversion takes place to the EU27 as of that date, a new ENS must be lodged  the first ENS will be deemed not having been lodged 8

Customs procedures: temporary storage • Authorisations for temporary storage facilities • Goods in temporary storage in the UK before withdrawal date must follow the customs formalities applicable to non-Union goods if they are brought to the EU27 after this date • Movements of goods in the EU27 under authorisations granted by UK  need to regularise before the date of withdrawal • Movements of goods in the UK under authorisations granted by EU27  deemed to have been re-exported 9

Customs procedures: duty relief • Goods exported from the UK before withdrawal date may be considered returned goods if re-imported in the EU27 after this date • Goods brought from the EU27 to the UK before the withdrawal date will be considered as ‘exported’ for the purposes established for returned goods • Brexit is not considered as a ‘special circumstance’ as referred to in Article 203(2) UCC • Transfer or normal residence from UK will be entitled for duty relief including period before Brexit 10

Customs procedures: transit • The UK will join the Common Transit Convention after the date of withdrawal, so UK may use common transit and have access to NCTS • If goods on transit are brought from EU27 to UK after the withdrawal date, an EXS has to be lodged, unless security data are already on transit declaration or obligation to lodge EXS is waived • Same procedure if inverse movement  ENS • Acceptance of forms of guarantor’s undertakings and guarantee certificates  < 1 year after withdrawal 11

Customs procedures: transit (TIR) • The UK is already a Contracting Party to the TIR Conv. • If goods under TIR are brought from EU27 to UK after the withdrawal date, an EXS has to be lodged and office of exit in EU27 will act as customs office of exit • If goods under TIR are brought from EU27 to UK after the withdrawal date, the office of destination in UK will have to provide alternative proof of arrival to EU27 • If goods under TIR are brought from UK to EU27 after the withdrawal date, normal formalities of TIR from 3 rd countries will apply (ENS and notification of arrival) 12

Customs procedures: other special procedures • Authorisations for special procedures other than transit granted by the UK or with a UK EORI number will not be valid as of the date of withdrawal • Authorisations for special procedures other than transit granted by the EU27 with a ‘UK element’ will have to be amended • Need to discharge special procedure for goods covered by a UK authorisation before the date of withdrawal 13

Customs procedures: other special procedures • The UK is already a Contracting Party to the ATA Convention • ATA carnets may be used for goods declared for temporary admission brought from UK to the EU27 or vice-versa • Same applies for goods brought from a 3 rd country to UK and re-exported from EU27 or vice-versa • ATA carnets will be considered as a declaration of export for goods temporarily exported from EU27 to a third country via the UK before withdrawal 14

Customs procedures: export • A pre-departure declaration lodged in the UK will not be valid if goods arrive to the EU27 after withdrawal • Goods exported from EU27 via UK:  If goods do not arrive to UK before withdrawal  office of export is replaced by office of exit  If goods arrive to UK before withdrawal  office of export closes movement by means of an alternative proof 15

Customs procedures: export • Goods exported from UK via EU27:  If goods do not arrive to EU27 before withdrawal  same procedure as non-Union goods coming from 3 rd country  If goods arrive to EU27 before withdrawal  office of export in UK closes movement by means of an alternative proof and office of exit can close movement in ECS 16

4. General conclusions 17

Some general conclusions • No deal means that the UK becomes a 3 rd country from day 1 • Concerned persons must be prepared • The borders have two sides and concerned persons must fulfil the requirements established on both sides 18
