The Customs (Bulk Customs Declaration and Miscellaneous
Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations, SI 2020/967, provide authorisation for bulk
customs declarations for goods contained in postal packets, and amend a number
of customs ‘EU exit’ statutory instruments. Certain provisions will be brought
into force on 1 October 2020 and others on 31 October 2020, to allow authorisations
to be granted before 31 December 2020.
The measures will allow customs procedures to continue to
operate efficiently at the end of the Brexit transition period and make it
easier for businesses to access a duty deferment account. HMRC has published detailed
guidance to accompany the regulations and also draft text for certain
notices that will be made under the regulations and that will have the force of
law.
