The UK government has recently changed the timeline for the introduction of additional customs rules due to Brexit. This partial postponement does not mean a cancellation. On January 1, 2022, the first new customs requirements will take effect. These have implications for all types of cargo imported into the UK. Additional rules for veterinary cargo in particular will follow as of 1 July 2022.
All upcoming measures at the UK border are conveniently listed on the website Get Ready for Brexit. The website also offers a extensive knowledge bank for answers to the many questions the market has about transport to and from the United Kingdom. Get Ready for Brexit is a joint initiative of Deltalinqs, evofenedex, Fenex, Port of Rotterdam Authority, TLN and Portbase for optimal information to the entire logistics chain and the consequences of Brexit for transport through the Dutch ports. The aim is that in the new Brexit reality, cargo will move smoothly to and from the UK every day via ferry and container terminals.
