Transition
The transition period
There is now a transition period until the end of 2020 while the UK and EU negotiate additional arrangements.
The current rules on trade, travel, and business for the UK and EU will continue to apply during the transition period.
New rules will take effect on 1 January 2021.
You should prepare now and subscribe to email updates about any additional arrangements.

From 1 January 2021 you will need to make customs declarations to move goods into and out of the EU.
You should:
- get an EORI number if you do not already have one
- decide how you want to make customs declarations and whether you need to get someone to deal with customs for you.
