UK businesses are being reminded that from the 1st of October 2022, they will need to use the Customs Declaration Service to import goods.
According to figures, more than 3,500 firms are at risk of significant delays in importing their goods if they don’t move to the UK’s new streamlined customs system now.
Julie Etheridge, HMRC’s Director of Programme and Operational Delivery for Borders and Trade, said, “There are now only 2 months left until businesses must use Customs Declaration Service for imports. Businesses need to move now or risk being unable to bring their goods into the UK.”
