ESPO | BREXIT - Border Checks In EU Ports As From January 1st 2021
- Details
- Published: 18 December 2020
The European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO) has just published a press release regarding the forthcoming border checks, in European Union's (EU) ports as of January 1st 2021.
More specifically, the press release indicates that as from January 1st 2021, businesses that conduct trade between the EU and the United Kingdom (UK) will need to deal with border controls, thereby ensuring they submit the right formalities and information to border authorities in order to gain clearance for their goods at the border.
The uncertainty about the final outcome of the Brexit negotiations and the hope for a deal seem to create a misunderstanding with some businesses that they will still be able to avoid the paper work when trading between the EU and the UK.
That is why ESPO and its members want to stress that whatever the outcome of the Brexit negotiations might be, customs and border checks will come into place on January 1st.
