Exporting advice for small businesses and the self-employed at Mail Boxes Etc. Bournemouth - Moordown

Now the UK has left the EU, new rules have come into effect which affect all 200,000+ UK businesses who trade with Europe and countries trading in the European Economic Area (EEA). If your business imports and exports goods to the EU/EEA - we can help.

Don’t panic – we’ve got this!

Here are some helpful hints and tips to prepare your business and protect your supply chains:

  • If you don’t have one already, apply for a ‘GB’ EORI number online*
    (Your Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI) number needs to begin with ‘GB’ and it can take up to a week for HMRC to process).
  • Research and record the Commodity Code* and customs value of the goods you import/export, so you can prepare customs declarations and calculate duties.
  • Get a personalised list of actions* for your UK business 
  • info@mbebh1.co.uk" target="_blank" style="text-decoration:underline;">Appoint Mail Boxes Etc. Bournemouth - Moordown as your agent to deal with customs for your international deliveries (You’ll need to confirm this in writing, email is fine).
  • Ensure you always include an accurate description of goods and declare the correct value of items you export - (we can help with this part, and provide compensation cover too)!
  • If you wish to base your business in the EU, our Republic of Ireland locations may be able to assist. (We can take payment for your Ireland business address in £ Sterling).
  • If you are an EU-based business with clients across the UK, appear local with a Bournemouth - Moordown, UK correspondence address
