A big concern of HMRC’s Customs EU Exit Policy Team is the lack of Customs entry procedure knowledge should there be a need to complete formal Customs declarations post-Brexit.
The results from the survey – which only has six questions – will enable BIFA to communicate its results back to the Customs EU Exit Policy Team and also lobby any concerns to the key decision makers on behalf of the trade association’s members.
BIFA’s Director General, Robert Keen said: “Our members and the companies they serve are worried about administrative costs for new procedures such as filing Customs declarations, unexpected delays from new checks and such things as damage to ‘just-in-time processes’ involving rapid imports of components.
“Despite the ongoing uncertainties over the path that Brexit will eventually take, survey such as this are one thing we can do to help prepare for the future.”
The survey can be found at: http://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/BrexitSkillsGap/
The survey will run until Friday 27th October.
