CHECK

CHANGE

GO

Piece of cake, right?

Not quite

I just had a go on the Gov.uk site to see what I'd need to do if I were a business that traded with the EU...

- Update all my import/export processes

- Make customs declarations for all imports/exports

1/5

- Update accounting & reporting so as not to be in breach of rules

- Update contracts relating to accessing personal data

- Pay tariffs on import goods (though they don't tell you what these are yet)

- Get visas/work permits for you and your staff for travel to the EU

2/5

- Update your insurance

- Get permission to bring work equipment into EU duty-free (such as laptops)

- Check if you need to apply for a license for the goods you want to bring into the EU

- Hire a person to deal with customs for you (they assume you can afford this)

3/5

- Get an EORI number to export goods (what's one of those then?)

- Appoint an EU rep if you provide digital services to EU (or risk getting fined if you don't)

- Check whether the VAT you charge changes

- Apply for hauler licenses & permits (hello Kent access permit!)

4/5

- Update copyright licenses

- Make sure your EU employees have registered for the settlement scheme

It goes on...

And to top it off - here, deal with this global pandemic that we've totally fluffed.

Conservatives - THE PARTY FOR BUSINESS
