Brexit New: Completing The New Import Customs Declarations
Ian Simmonds • April 7, 2019
Customs Declarations
If the UK leaves the EU Customs Union, UK companies which only trade with the European Union will need to follow new processes and complete new forms, such as customs declarations. Completing import customs declarations can be complex and companies will be liable for any mistakes in the paperwork. Errors with import documentation can lead to:
- Imports being detained by UK Customs
- The overpayment of customs duties and import VAT
- Supply chain delays
- Civil or criminal penalties

Border officials utilise a Safety and Security Declaration (SSD) to assess the possible risk that items crossing their border pose to their jurisdiction. It has nothing to do with taxes and duties. Declarations come in two varieties: exit summary declarations (EXS) and entry summary declarations (ENS).
The UK government advises all exporters to use the new Customs Declaration Service (CDS), which will be mandatory for export declarations as of March 31, 2024.
The final Border Target Operating Model sets out a new approach to security controls, and sanitary and phytosanitary controls.
