Importing into the UK from the EU

From 1 Jan 2021 all goods imported from the EU to the UK require a UK customs import declaration. Although you have up to 6 months to complete the process, delaying your customs declarations will create a backlog, increasing administration costs and liability for any tax and duties due on goods. It is best practice to complete import customs declarations as early as possible in 2021.

Descartes e-Customs provides a straightforward way of submitting customs declarations through your customs registration. If you chose to defer any customs declarations to 1 July 2021 it enables you to record the import pending submission of a supplementary declaration.

See how easy it is to complete import customs declarations with Descartes eCustoms software in the below video.
