What Will Change In 2024 When Moving Goods In And Out Of The UK?

Navigating Trade Compliance Issues in 2024:

In 2024, businesses engaged in international trade will face a new set of trade compliance issues when moving goods in and out of the UK. From Vernon Rato Limited's standpoint, understanding these changes is crucial for ensuring seamless operations and leveraging our export consultancy to your advantage.

Here's a guide to what's changing and how our expertise can guide you through these shifts.

The Introduction of New Regulations

  • EU Emissions Trading System (ETS). The EU ETS will start incorporating shipping activities, impacting goods moved to and from the EU. Initially, 40% of emissions will be priced from 2024, increasing to 100% by 2026. This change signifies a move towards environmental accountability in trade practices.
  • Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). CBAM will impose a carbon price on high-emission imports like steel and aluminium. This aims to prevent carbon leakage and ensure that the EU's climate efforts are not undermined by imports from countries with less stringent policies

Updates to Customs and Tariffs

  • Changes to the EU Combined Nomenclature (CN). The EU CN, essential for declaring goods at customs, will see updates affecting tariff classifications. Businesses must stay vigilant to ensure accurate customs declarations
  • UK's Border Target Operating Model (BTOM). BTOM will introduce phased changes, starting with health certification requirements for certain imports from the EU. This model aims to streamline UK border processes and enhance security​​.
