Dear All

1st January 2021
is fast approaching with just under 38 days to go to Brexit Deadline.

Are you BREXIT READY?

URGENT attention required.

Customs Clearance Consortium (CCC)
Have you registered with our CUSTOMS Agent ‘CCC’?
If you haven’t done so, please use the attached CCC Starter Pack.


Are you using your own Agent for Full Load Consignments?
If so, do you understand what information your logistics provider AGRO Merchants will require?

AGRO Merchants will need your data & MRN’s for each consignment!

Your haulage provider is responsible for moving goods through the Border Control Post and we will be responsible for notifying the Customs & Border Agencies that Goods will be arriving at the border though the use of (GVMS in the UK Goods Vehicle Movement Systems) Goods Movement References and through generating (Irish Revenue Ro-Ro service) Pre Boarding Notifications.


AGRO cannot make these entries without the Master Reference Numbers (MRN’s) of each consignment form the Import & Export Declarations.

EORI Numbers
Have you requested and received your EORI Numbers?
If some of your trade flows between GB and Northern Ireland have you registered with the TSS (Trader Support Service) You will also need an XIEORI Number.


Trade Flows & Routes
Do you understand what paperwork and digital reference numbers are required for the different flows and routes?
Northern Ireland to GB direct
Northern Ireland to GB transit via ROI 
GB to Northern Ireland direct
GB to Northern Ireland transit via ROI
ROI to GB direct
ROI to GB transit via Northern Ireland
GB to ROI direct
GB to ROI transit via Northern Ireland


Health Certificates
Are you ready for Health Certificates; Products of Animal Origin, and Products of Plant Origin (Phytosanitary). You will need to register with TRACES for EU Companies (TRACES NT) & IPAFFS for UK Companies.

Incoterms
Have you agreed INCOTERMS and agreed with your customer and supplier who the Exporter and Importer is?

Tariffs, Duty & Deferment Account
Should the UK & EU finalize a ‘Trade Deal’ then the complexities around tariffs, duties & deferment accounts should be much less relevant to most businesses however it is important that every company and supplier apply for a deferment account at this time.
 
CCC do offer a deferment account but as with most agents will require cash up front.   
 
The Irish Finance Department also offer a cash deferment account, so customers will have the opportunity to utilize that option also. 

 
Fiscal Representation
By using CCC as our clearing agent we can also recommend to use Avalara as your Fiscal Representative in any of the EU territories to handle Import / Export declarations including Transit Documentation and EU Vat Registrations by EU territory.
 
Customer Data Template 
From 1st January 2021 Agro require all customers to place their job consignment orders with all the relevant customs data using the attached customer operational transactional template.

It is of the utmost Importance that we use the data template forms attached for all transactions.
 

Master Data & Test Data
Please ensure that you have provided all your master data to AGRO including EORI Numbers, Commodity Codes, incoterms etc.
Kind Regards,
The AGRO Merchants Brexit Team
