WE ARE READY TO SUPPORT YOU WITH BREXIT
BKM, as all of its customers, follow with big care the developments regarding Brexit. We understand that there might be some uncertainty and question marks in our customers’ mind, so we felt like sharing views regarding the probable scenarios and their outcomes:
1 – NO-DEAL HARD BREXIT
This means that the UK will be neither member of EU nor member of Customs Union. In that scenario, companies will have to pay duties for any goods they import from Europe or Turkey; just exactly as if importing from any other non-European country in the world. There will not be free circulation of goods anymore, so the goods will have to be accompanied with relevant customs documents such as commercial invoice and packing list. They will need to make a customs exit from any EU country first and then UK customs entry. To complete the customs clearance, companies will have to pay VAT and duty to the customs. These procedures are expected to cause queues and delays in the customs. In seaports such as Felistowe not major changes may take place as sea freight is mainly done in general by relatively farther non-European intercontinental countries; however, that might not be the case for Dover which is the gate of land freight of the UK. The aforementioned procedures currently run for non-EU but relatively closer countries such as Turkey, Ukraine, Albania, Russia and so on. After hard Brexit, the traffic of the EU countries too will be added to Dover’s work load and queues.
2 – SOFT BREXIT, CUSTOMS UNION DEAL
In case the UK makes a deal to stay in the Customs Union, there will still be customs clearance procedures and hence still traffic in Dover customs. However, there will not be duty fees (there might be some exceptions , such as agricultural products). Today, there are some documents to indicate that for some non-EU countries the goods can circulate without duty within EU. For example, EU has special agreement with countries such as Ukraine or Albania and as far the goods of these countries circulate with a EUR1 document, they are exempted of duties. EUR1 countries are not members of Customs Union but have special free trade agreement with EU. Turkey, on the other hand, is member of the Customs Unions without being member of European Union. This a special and exclusive status and one of the possible options discussed for the after Brexit UK too. Being member of Customs Union, Turkish goods too, as far as they are accompanied with A.TR- a special treaty document prepared exclusively for Turkey, can circulate in the EU exempted of duty, except of agricultural and other special exceptional products.
3 – NO BREXIT
In that case, nothing will change of course and everything will run and go on as of today.
