On 1 January 2021 current relations between the European Union and the United Kingdom will come to an end, whether a partnership agreement is concluded or not.
Starting from 1 January 2021 the United Kingdom (UK) will be treated as a non-EU country for customs purposes.
This means that customs clearance costs will be charged. The agreement between the sender and the addressee will determine who will pay these costs.
For more information, we advise you to contact the Brexit Call Centre of the General Administration of Customs & Excise Duties. This contact centre is available from Monday to Friday from 9.00 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. at the phone number 0257/55.555.
Deliveries may take longer as additional customs formalities will have to be fulfilled.
However, most operators apply an electronic procedure for these customs formalities, so that the potential impact on the delivery time should be limited.

Parcels from and to the United Kingdom will have to follow the same procedure as that applied to third countries (non-EU countries), such as Canada or the United States. This means that these parcels must be accompanied by a customs form, which is necessary to be processed through customs.
Once Brexit enters into force, i.e. on 1 January 2021, the European roaming rules will no longer apply to the United Kingdom.
This means that when making a call, sending SMS messages or surfing the Internet from the United Kingdom (to an EU country), consumer prices may be much higher than today given that operators will be allowed to apply a roaming surcharge.
