Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when definitive advice will be available for removal companies on the customs documentation they will need from their customers in order to facilitate the transfer of their goods to destinations in the EU which are their new country of domicile; and whether there will be a central point to which that customs paperwork should be submitted.

The management of EU import and export procedures is the responsibility of the customs authorities of the Member States. It is important that businesses and individuals confirm the processes at their port of arrival and any conditions or procedures that may apply, such as the time limit goods may remain in the EU without the payment of duty.

From 1 January 2021 export declarations and exit Safety and Security declarations will also be required for all goods moving from the UK to the EU. More information on export declarations can be found online at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/making-a-full-export-declaration.
