Avoiding penalties from HMRC for failed EIDR declarations is now a top priority for UK importers, says an article published on loadstar website.

EIDR declarations

Entry in the declarant’s records (EIDR) means imported goods can be released for free circulation through an entry customers make in their records. Import clearance is carried out with a supplementary import declaration to be submitted later.

Deferring customs declarations was part of a six-month moratorium aimed at softening the impact of Brexit.

However, the first delayed import declarations were due on 25 June, and imports are now at risk of incurring heavy fines.

CFSP

Finding a Customs Freight Simplified Procedures (CFSP) approved customs broker, willing to take on new EIDR clients, is essential for clearing the backlog of delayed declarations. But CFSP approval takes several months, and brokers are needed now.

With potentially millions of EIDR declarations outstanding, CFSP brokers are in short supply and many importers will be left with no option but to face up to fines from HMRC and risk long-term increases in audits and red tape.

However, help may be on hand. UK Customs Solutions is a CFSP-approved customs broker and has expanded its team to help importers avoid these severe penalties from HMRC.
