Exporting goods from the UK after Brexit involves new customs requirements and documentation. Businesses must first register for an EORI number with HMRC to trade internationally. Each product should be correctly classified using commodity codes to determine applicable duties and taxes. Prepare all essential export documents — including commercial invoices, packing lists, and export declarations — to ensure smooth customs clearance. If exporting to the EU, check Rules of Origin to qualify for tariff-free trade under UK-EU agreements.
