Information for traders on importing and exporting goods between Great Britain and the EU after 1 January 2021.

Following the end of the Transition Period on 31 December 2020, the process of importing and exporting goods between Great Britain and the EU will change.

If you trade with the EU, the 2 documents on this page will help you prepare for these changes so you can continue to trade.

Whether you’re completing the customs declarations yourself or have an intermediary to do it for you, these guides will take you through each step and set out your options.

The documents set out the information in the form of a ‘journey’, so that you can clearly see every step you need to take to ensure that your goods are transported successfully.
