BREXIT

The impact of the Brexit is felt everywhere, including in the transport sector.

Imports and exports from the European Union have increased enormously in terms of additional administrative obligations due to the consequences of the Brexit.

Customs processes, registrations and customs clearances will be required to transport your goods from 2021 onwards. These formalities are complex and VIAVAN can provide the appropriate services.

In order to make the administration run smoothly for the customer, we need some important necessary data.

EORI number=Unique identification number linked to your company or person to record customs transactions. This number is used in all customs procedures to exchange information with the customs administration.

• • EORI-number online check via EORI-nummervalidering (europa.eu)
  • EORI-number request : easy to apply for via a form on EORI | FOD Financiën (belgium.be)

CUSTOMS CLEARANCE OF THE GOODS

Your goods exported to or imported from the UK must be cleared through customs by first registering them and then clearing them. All documents containing the details of the goods and additional documents must be submitted. VIAVAN can certainly assist you in this process.
