The UK’s new Border Operating Model explained: key things to know

When the UK’s transition from the EU ends on 31 December 2020, a new era of customs and checks on goods moving between the UK and EU countries will be ushered in.

On Monday 13 July, the government published the detail of how imports and exports will work in its long awaited post-transition border operating model plan, 'The Border with the European Union, Importing and Exporting Goods'.

Experts at the IOE&IT have pored over this 200-plus page document to interpret exactly what preparations UK businesses need to be make for trade with the EU post-December 2020.

This webinar from Thursday 16 July includes coverage of:

- Customs declarations and the role of traders and intermediaries
- Import Duty, Import VAT and related documentation and authorisation requirements
- Customs simplifications and facilitations including Transit and AEO
- 'Pre-lodgement' and 'temporary storage' models at ports
- Processes for 'Roll-on, Roll-off' trade
- Requirement for SPS checks and processes for Controlled Goods
- Requirement for Safety and Security declarations
