Parcelforce Worldwide - The importance of electronic pre-advice data
Background                                                       6

     • More and more countries require that incoming international
       parcels are accompanied by electronic pre-advice data (or
       ‘ITMATT' data). This includes information on the sender, the
       recipient and parcel contents

     • Customers will need to provide this data, in the correct
       format, to meet these new customs requirements and ensure
       continued shipping of overseas parcels without restriction

     • Brexit – and specifically a ‘no deal’ Brexit – has added
       further impetus to this requirement

Current regime – trading goods with the EU                        7

     • Businesses can currently move goods freely between EU
       member states

     • For customs, this means that businesses trading with the rest
       of the EU do not have to make any customs import or export
       declarations – and their trade with the EU is not subject to
       VAT and/or import duty at the point of delivery

     • Some goods are subject to excise duty. This is a tax charged
       on the importation of goods such as alcohol, tobacco and
       oils. However, these goods are currently free to move
       between the UK and the rest of the EU with excise duty able
       to be suspended as long as certain controls and conditions
       are in place

No Deal Brexit – summary                                       8

     Should the UK leave the EU on 29th March 2019 without a
     deal the likely impacts of this would be:

               UK leaving the Customs Union

               UK trading on World Trade Organisation (WTO) terms

               Requirement for Customs Declarations (CN23s),
               Commercial Invoices and electronic pre-advice data
               for all EU traffic

               VAT and duties payable on goods entering UK from
               EU

Our strategy                                               9

     While the Government is confident of striking a deal, we
     are nevertheless contingency planning for a ‘no deal’
     Brexit scenario. This includes four key priorities:

                  1) Speed               2) Customs
                Efficient E2E          Preventing delays
               transit of your            for customs
                    items                  clearance

                 3) Costs                  4) Data
               Minimising any           Gathering data

Parcelforce Worldwide - The importance of electronic pre-advice data
Why electronic data is important                                     10

     Electronic pre-advice data is the key customer requirement to
     improve customs clearance processes and prepare for a ‘no
     deal’ Brexit. It includes information on the sender, the recipient
     and the parcel’s contents

     You will need to provide this data in the correct format.

     Beyond Brexit, more and more countries are also beginning to
     require incoming international parcels to be accompanied by
     electronic pre-advice data

     The US reserves the right to refuse items without electronic
     data, Brazil are already applying fees for manual processing
     costs, and China and Russia are prioritising electronically pre-
     advised items

            If you are exporting goods outside the EU, you should already be
            capturing this data via your shipping solution. You will also need to
            collect this for all EU exports in the event of a ‘no deal’ Brexit scenario
