The debates on the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union, with or without agreement, are still ongoing. Do you think you will be impacted by the Brexit? Then we advise you not to wait to start preparing for this!

How?

The federal government has developed a useful on-line tool, the Brexit Impact Scan. This tool will fully inform you about the consequences for your company in terms of import, export, contracts, intellectual property, personnel policy, etc.  We recommend that you use this tool.

Useful websites

The following government websites also contain information about the impact of a possible Brexit:

Don't forget your EORI number!

When the United Kingdom departs from the European Union, you will need an EORI number to trade with them. Without this number, you will not be able to make customs declarations and customs may block your goods.

The reason for this is that, after the Brexit, the United Kingdom will become a so-called 'third country'. As a result, import and export will be subject to custom formalities again.

If you do not yet have an EORI number, please contact your enterprise counter. They can help you with your application to the Customs and Excise department.
