📢 April Trade & Customs Update by BR.IT Customs
This month has seen a wave of regulatory changes and global trade developments. Here are the key highlights our team is tracking:
🌍 US Tariffs Introduced
A blanket 10% tariff on all US imports took effect on 5 April, with more to follow. UK businesses are encouraged to provide feedback to help shape the government’s response.
📦 Air Freight Sector Under Pressure
Cargo demand is dipping, and the possible removal of the US de minimis threshold could increase costs and delays—especially for e-commerce.
🛃 Short Shipment Declarations Rejected
HMRC is cracking down on short shipments: C21 codes 91U and 96M are now rejected. A full customs declaration is required, and import VAT handling may impact cash flow.
🌿 Import Controls Strengthened
APHA now leads import checks at Sevington BCP, with new driver advisories and restrictions on goods from FMD-risk countries. Accurate data and coordination between CDS and IPAFFS are essential.
🚫 Export Control Enforcement Ramps Up
£3.7M in compound settlements issued for breaches of military export controls. Exporters must ensure licensing compliance to avoid enforcement action.
