Brexit: Business Readiness Bulletin

Traders Must Act Now

Michael Gove, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, urges traders to ensure that they are fully ready with the  new rules for trading with the European Union.

Traders are urged to ensure that they are fully ready with the new trading rules, as lorries expected at the GB-EU border, are expected to reach pre-Christmas levels this week. While compliance with the new rules remains high, an increase in border traffic raises the possibility of disruption.

Exporters must provide the right documentation to hauliers,

• including export declarations and the extra certificates needed for products, like plant and animal products,
• hauliers heading to Kent must get a negative Covid test and
• obtain a Kent Access Permit before heading to port, or risk facing a fine and being turned away.
