The past twelve months have seen a gradual change in processes and procedures for imports/exports. 31 January 2022 marked the end of the withdrawal from the EU as a result of Brexit. The final changes will be introduced in 2022.

The Magnus Group freight forwarding team based in the Port of Felixstowe has been supporting clients with the changes over the past year.  Our team are experts to support and advise our clients. We issue a regular newsletter keeps our clients up to date with changes in customs controls and helps to minimise any impact. Global trade is forever changing, in response to political, economic, environmental, and social influences. As an international freight distribution company, we can help to navigate and manage the systems.

– changes to VAT 

It is now permitted to use postponed VAT accounting, if VAT registered.

 

Why use a freight forwarder?

You can benefit from using a Freight Forwarder if you have goods that are being transported across the world as part of your business,

A freight forwarder understands the rules and regulations for each country. They are fully briefed and up to date with the latest law changes and regulations. They have strong communication channels with HMRC.

What that all means, in simple terms, is that as experts they can help you move goods between countries legally, efficiently and cost-effectively.
