International Trade Update

The Department for International Trade (DIT) have launched a new Q&A service for exporters.

If you’re a UK business and you want to sell goods or services abroad, use this service to ask the Department for International Trade export support team a question.

There is also a new checking tool on GOV.UK to assist with how to import or export goods

Use this service to get information about importing and exporting, including:

– how to register your business for trading
– which licences and certificates you need for your goods
– paying the right tax and duty for your goods
– how to make declarations for your goods to clear the UK border
– which paperwork you need to keep

You’ll need to know:

– where the goods are coming from or going to
– the commodity code for the goods

Intrastat Declarations – There will be no Intrastat requirement for the movement of goods exported from GB to the EU or goods imported from EU to GB, from 1 January 2022.

For NI imports from EU and NI exports to the EU, Intrastat will continue to be required for the lifetime of the Northern Ireland Protocol, which will be at least 4 years.
