End of Suppliers Declarations Easement Guidance & FAQs (Supplier Declarations)

25 Nov 2021

The government has published updated guidance about the border between the UK and EU for firms importing and exporting goods.

This includes updates on the end of Rules of Origin easements, focused on supplier declarations – which are used to provide evidence of the originating status of goods.  They are usually required where there is no change of tariff heading or where the value of materials is over the rules of origin limit. There has been an ongoing easement on the need for supplier declarations to be held when making a statement on origin that expires on 31 December 2021.

The declarations are made out by the business supplying goods or materials that will be incorporated into final goods, that are then exported, to evidence their originating status.   The guidance and FAQs is set out in the attached two documents, the content of which is not online.  (EAMA has urged BEIS to put it online.)
