What every Importer needs to know – prepare for 1st January 2022
Date: Friday 3rd December
Time: 10:00am - 11.00am
Full customs controls and checks will commence on 1 January 2022 for goods entering GB from the EU – Make sure your business is ready!
Importing processes have changed since the UK’s departure from the EU and the Government have been introducing these in Stages, giving businesses time to adjust.
From the 1st January 2022 full Import Customs Declarations will be mandatory and will no longer be delayed. Any Import declarations delayed before this time must still have a Supplementary declaration raised within 175 days of the import.
You can complete these declarations or use an agent BUT even if using an agent, the legal responsibility for accuracy of the information included falls to the importer. It is therefore vital that importers are aware of their procedural and financial obligations and have the records needed.
Be part of this webinar where our experts will explain the issues that you need to understand and show you how to deal with them.

Made in the UK, Sold to the World: New strategy to boost exports to £1 trillion
The Government has launched an ambitious new ‘Made in the UK, Sold to the World’ plan to help businesses across the UK double exports and sell their world-class products around the globe.
The 12-point export strategy - published Wednesday 17th November by the Department for International Trade - will give businesses the tools they need to become a nation of exporters and reap the benefits of our free trade deals.
It includes an Export Support Service that offers a one-stop shop for exporting advice, and the launch of a new UK Tradeshow Programme better-tailored to help businesses, particularly those outside London and the South East, to attend and promote their products around the world.
DIT will also be expanding its Export Academy – launched in October – to roll it out across all of the UK including Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The academy will invite owners and managers of SMEs to access masterclasses, roundtables and networking events that help them overcome common challenges first-time exporters face.
The UK exported £600 billion in goods and services last year, but only around one in ten GB businesses currently export – with the number of goods exporters falling behind continental competitors like Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands.
Unlocking the UK’s exporting potential will help level up the country and boost the UK’s economy, with government commissioned research estimating that exports supported 6.5 million jobs across the UK in 2016 and showing that exporters pay higher wages. Separate analysis shows that goods exporting businesses are on average 21 percent more productive.
The 12-point strategy includes:
- Launching the ‘Made in the UK, Sold to the World’ campaign, championing the UK’s priority sectors through an innovative, localised marketing campaign that will promote the best of British goods and services in our towns and cities.
- The Export Support Service provides a single point of contact for exporters to Europe. Since launching in October the new export hotline and online service has helped hundreds of businesses to get exporting.
- UK Export Academy expansion to offer SMEs in all parts of the UK, including Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland the chance to learn how to navigate the technicalities of exporting and how to find new opportunities in overseas markets.
- A new UK Tradeshow Programme will be bigger and better targeted to give UK companies, especially SMEs, a leg-up to exhibit their first-class products at the world’s biggest tradeshows.
- UK Export Finance - our world-leading export credit agency - will expand its offer with new products and a wider delivery network that will make it easier for UK exporters to secure business from overseas buyers.
- Export Champions, ensuring businesses can build and learn from exporting successes through business-to-business networking and peer-to-peer learning
- Internationalisation Fund, open to SMEs in England, will aim to grow international sales, and has facilitated £4 million of support to SMEs attending Trade Fairs.
