Export from UK to EU

Is it possible to use the Single Contract of Carriage in DE 2/2 and D/E 5/12 for the carriage of goods from Great Britain to the European Union in the export declaration?

Hi, Just a quick one. We are a VAT registered business in the UK and sell worldwide, some new potential customers from France are scared to order from us due to DUTIES they may be charged to recieve the order. Is there a way to reduce the duty fees? What is the deal currently in place? Best

Hi You should first check whether the goods are subject to import duties when imported into France irrespective of where they are imported from. Not all goods are subject to a positive rate of duty. You can find this via the uk tariff schedule ( export information). You can then search duty rates in the destination country for your products. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/tariffs-on-goods-imported-into-the-uk If you do need to use the trade deal to obtain preferential duty bear in mind that the goods must be manufactured in the UK and meet the product specific origin rule set down in the agreement.. you will also need to provide proof of preferential origin. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/introduction-to-rules-of-origin-and-claiming-duties-when-trading-between-the-uk-and-eu

Hi ,
 

Unfortunately, UK will have no control over the customs charges applied by the importing country. You may need to check with importing country’s customs department to see if there is any relief or preference available for imports from UK . Thank you .
