Remember all those years ago I said the EU would want to know what we are sending into the bloc once all those “ trade deals “ were signed ?
Well …
The new customs rules for **anything** travelling in a van or truck now needs declaring - it’s called ICS2 - and is aimed at the U.K. ..
Happy new year - I’m out tomorrow morning to France
And there’s a load of new customs procedures to follow from midnight ..it’s getting harder that’s for sure
Coming tomorrow …
The latest Brexit benefit - EES ..
Everytime you leave you’ll need to register and provide proof of where your going and your crossings
Great eh
Wait for Xmas and summer ..
New ICS2 rules
From yesterday ALL vans trucks and trailers need to complete it to leave the U.K. . Without it you can’t leave .
Submitting it is one thing
Waiting for a barcode back from the French ?
Not only do you have to list the time of departure - which is no good if you can’t leave
Well apart from having to either establish your company in Europe or register with them for an EoRI - there’s also a much more complex paperwork issue to contend with
And this is from the French customs
Brexit benefits . It’s certainly getting harder
I can’t understand why this hasn’t had any traction in the media - it’s a BIG thing . Anyone and everyone travelling by road needs this in 4 weeks on paid work .
Any they’ll also need an EU EORI ..
And guess what
Hardly anyone here is prepared
Read it . It’s a headfuck
Brexit eh ..
This is how crazy Brexit is
For 6 years I’ve transported goods from the Uk -EU for the same customer in both countries.they own the goods . They have no commercial resale value . From 01/09 they are going to have to “sell” the goods back to themselves every week for customs . And pay for it ..
Absolutley anything and everything travelling by road will need this come September.
One agent in the uk I spoke to said no one’s ready - and still training for it - he simply called it a nightmare
In short -if you can’t do this in a month then your goods will Not leave the uk .
Brexit benefits
Incase you thought the Windsor framework reduced the customs formalities for NI … erm no it didn’t . It’s about to get more challenging for some come September …..
As for outbound freight - well that’s about to change for the worse including anyone moving house …
01/09/2025
All outbound freight not only needs customs / carnets etc
The company transporting the goods now needs to do an ICS2 declaration - then an ENS coming in
The ICS is a ballache - currently by looks of it accessible by French agents .
Good luck sending goods out from 01/09
Welcome to a Birds Eye view of what Nigel Farage helped create . Completely pointless and unnecessary.
Yet people would trust him over the chancellor .
They are either as thick as mince or have very short memories .
In the meantime I’ll be spending hours sat here .
It really is bollocks
Remember when I was talking about just in time critical transport into and out the U.K. ?
Well the latest ENS declaration-needs doing by the transporter- you must tell them the exact date and time you cross into the U.K.
Another nail in the coffin of Brexit Britain
How’s this for a Brexit benefit
Insurance renewal in two weeks . 2 vans fully comp in EU - gone from 4k last year to 7k this year
Falling out of the Lugano treaty has a lot to do with it - so now considering minimal EU cover instead - at 5k a year .
How’s Brexit working for you ..
I don’t know what’s more interesting and entertaining to read
A step in the right direction in regards to the new Brexit relationship or the local Facebook pages reading rancid gammon posts about fishermen and “ illegal immigrants “
Just been on holiday on a bucket list trip to Maldives
Got back to Heathrow - turned on phone and someone was spending money on my cards in Malaysia while we were in the air knowing phones would be off ! Turns out cards taken from suitcase just before we got back as was leaving resort at 2am ..
