Safety and Security Declarations for EU Imports

Import & Export

Vernon Rato

June 20, 2025

The previous government intended to end the waiver for Safety and Security declarations on EU imports by 31st October 2024. However, following the General Election and industry consultations, the deadline has now been extended to 31st January 2025.

This extension provides additional time for businesses to prepare, but it’s crucial to act promptly. Companies already handling declarations for Rest of the World (RoW) imports may find the transition smoother, as they are likely familiar with the requirements. For these businesses, VernonRato Limited encourages early submission of declarations before the new deadline, ensuring they remain compliant and avoid disruptions.

For those still needing to adapt to the change, VernonRato Limited offers comprehensive support, including tailored guidance on Safety and Security declaration processes. Our experts will work with your team to establish efficient systems and processes, ensuring your business is ready well ahead of the deadline.

How the Windsor Framework Connects to Safety and Security Compliance

With the Windsor Framework’s recent delays, many businesses trading between Great Britain and Northern Ireland will benefit from simplified procedures under the UK Internal Market Scheme (UKIMS). However, this also introduces additional compliance responsibilities.

Companies must ensure they are using up-to-date Trader Goods Profiles (TGP) and keep commercial documentation accurate, especially when transporting goods through Green Lane simplified customs channels. This process is closely related to Safety and Security Declarations since accurate declarations, including correct HS codes and transport documents, are critical for ensuring compliance with both EU import rules and the Windsor Framework’s specific requirements.
