April marked a significant shift in international trade, and it's crucial for exporters and importers to be aware of the impact. The implementation of stage 1 of SPS checks at the UK border on April 30th, the 2nd CBAM reporting deadline for imports into the EU, and the impending migration of the CDS Exports deadline are all changes that could potentially affect your operations and supply chains. We have seen increased requests for assistance when applying for Customs Special Procedures. When implemented correctly, they can improve supply chain efficiency and reduce the amount of Customs duty you must pay. It's important to remember that you're not alone in navigating these changes.
