Overview

In this video training you will learn what you need to consider in terms of customs when importing goods from third countries into the EU. The training is based on the practical situation of a company in Ireland sourcing goods from suppliers in the UK and preparing for customs formalities post-Brexit.

The video consists of two parts:

The first part is about changes in the company's business model when the company starts trading with non-EU countries;
The second part is about customs regulations for importing goods and how to learn about them.

Country update

NOCA's Bulgarian Green Corridors project

03-09-2024

The rapid crossing of land borders for imported and exported goods (including for intra-EU movements)would help to take the operation of international supply chains to a new level. Timely delivery … of goods is much more than a fulfilment of trade commitments in order to build fair and long-term business partnerships. The COVID-19 health crisis and the still-unfolding war in Ukraine serve as reminders that timely delivery of goods can be vital for people's lives and health. Furthermore, delays at borders resulting from a number of customs and non-customs checks are an administrative burden.

Perspective

Top five challenges for European customs

28-08-2024

Someone recently asked me what are the current top challenges for customs in Europe. The article is an attempt to summarise the answer to this question. These are the five issues that, in my … opinion, are likely to impact the customs industry in the upcoming months and years. Some are more across-the-board and some are a bit more niche and local. The article comes from the author’s personal experience of working in the industry and across the private and public sectors and is therefore a personal perspective. By no means an exhaustive list.
