What to do?
With the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU on January 1, 2021, the transport traffic faces new challenges, which, however, can be quickly overcome with good preparation. BTS Logistik GmbH will support you and take care of the necessary formalities so that your goods can reach their destination without any problems.
What basic requirements do you have to meet as a manufacturer?
EORI number
You need a valid EORI number (Economic Operators' Registration and Identification Number). This can be applied for at the German customs.
Customs declaration
You declare the goods to be cleared through the customs system and create the required export accompanying documents and the associated customs invoices. An additional CMR waybill must be created for each shipment.
Notification by the importer
At the same time, the importer of the goods in the UK must complete the customs and import declaration so that he can prepare the required import documents (GMR = General Movement Number) and forward them to his supplier (the respective manufacturer).
Documents to BTS
You send all required customs and export documents (export accompanying document with MRN number and the corresponding customs invoices) and additionally the import documents (GMR number) collected per transport to BTS.
