POST-BREXIT IMPORTING WITH BOOT & DART
SPRING 2024 UPDATE
Like all Dutch plant exporters, the way we trade with our UK customers continues to evolve, to reflect the UK’s exit from the EU single market, and additional new regulations being introduced.
Boot & Dart have been doing business in the UK for over 40 years, predating the EU single market and have a long-standing loyal customer base that we will continue serving.
We offer a near seamless 4 way working relationship, which means that you as the importer has minimal involvement in the additional layers of bureaucracy.
Providing we are authorised, we will share all information directly between all parties:
– you the customer
– us the nursery stock supplier
– our preferred Customs Agent
– our long standing and excellent haulage contractor
Our post-Brexit business check list :
- Apply to the UK Revenue and Customs for an EORI number.
- Engage our preferred partner Customs Agent who can do all the Customs and Security documentation.
- Apply for a duty deferment account, the Customs Agent can assist with this.
- Apply to DEFRA to register to their IPAFFS (Import of products, animals, food and feed system).
- Engage our preferred Customs Agent to do the IPAFFS declaration on your behalf using your DEFRA login details.
- Boot & Dart will arrange all the statutory pre-loading plant health inspections and certification with the Naktuinbouw Dutch inspectorate.
- DEFRA will carry out random phytosanitary checks at Border Control Points after April 30th 2024, replacing the checks at Place of Destination. Please contact your representative at Boot & Dart for more information.
