Brexit
Preparing For Customs In The EU
Trading with the EU
After Brexit, we expect that some form of customs procedure will apply for businesses trading with the EU. If your business ships within the EU, we advise you to familiarise yourself with the following customs procedures:
Commercial Invoices
What is a commercial invoice?
A commercial invoice is a document that details the goods being shipped and its value. It is used to assess duties and taxes for customs processing.
Is it likely a commercial invoice will be required?
YES – We anticipate that, similar to non-EU shipments, a commercial invoice will be required for shipments going into the EU.
If it indeed does become a requirement for EU countries post Brexit, the World Options online portal will be updated to reflect this change and will prompt customers to generate the required paperwork during the booking process.
How do I create a commercial invoice?
A: The World Options portal gives customers the ability to create commercial invoices, this feature also provides assistance regarding what information is required.
