UKFT has published its latest Brexit Guidance Toolkit – a comprehensive guide to tariffs when selling to the EU and importing into the UK, import and export VAT, exhibitions and samples, CITES, Common Transit Convention, contracts and T&Cs, design copyright, standards, REACH, labelling, CE and UKCA marking and more.

UKFT is in close contact with the government as the negotiations with the EU on a Free Trade Agreement continue.

However, even if a deal is concluded before the end of the Transition Period, how goods are moved to and from the EU will be very different and companies should be prepared for major changes.
