Dear Reader,
Welcome to Edition 33 of The Customs Watch for Week 40, and welcome to October! This week, three critical updates stood out. As always, we've marked the must-read news with (®).
First, the EU has agreed to impose anti-dumping duties on Chinese Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs). We’ve written a detailed blog about what this means for businesses.
Learn how these new tariffs could affect your import and export strategies.
Second, the EU has proposed a one-year delay to the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). Discover more in our blog post: [EU Deforestation Regulation Delay](Our Blog), which explores the European Commission's decision and its potential impact.
Third, the UK has announced a delay to the Safety and Security (S&S) Declaration on imports from the EU until January 31, 2025. Our blog provides more details on this important update.
In addition to these significant developments, there are a few other updates, including two new EU classification decisions for a tactical response robot and projectors with built-in tuners. The classification guide for footwear has also been updated. A new CDS release has been issued on the customs front, and you can download two relevant HMRC documents.
We’re continually expanding our collection of advice, guidance, and thought leadership on various topics, creating a weekly resource that no customs professional should miss—there's nothing quite like it elsewhere.
As always, all EU and UK changes are consolidated into one document. Spend just 10 minutes reading it, and you’ll be fully up to date, ready to make informed decisions without missing a beat.
