Commercial Invoice: A detailed invoice for each transaction is needed for customs clearance, containing information like the value of goods, description, and terms of sale.
Packing List: Provides details of the goods being shipped, quantities, weights, and packaging information. It's used by customs to verify contents.
Commodity Codes (HS Codes): Classify the goods you are trading. These codes determine the duties and VAT that may apply.
Certificates of Origin:If your goods are eligible for preferential treatment (e.g., lower tariffs), you might need proof of origin to claim this benefit under the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA).
VAT and Duties: If you're selling to EU consumers, you may need to register for VAT in the EU or use the One-Stop Shop (OSS) scheme for simplified reporting.
Proof of Transport:ocuments such as bills of lading or airway bills to demonstrate that goods have left the UK or entered the EU.
Product-Specific Documentation: ome goods (e.g., food, chemicals, or electronics) may require additional certifications, safety data sheets, or compliance with product standards (e.g., CE or UKCA marking).
Trade Agreement Compliance: Ensure that your business complies with the terms set out in the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement, especially regarding rules of origin and applicable tariffs.
I'm sure Brexit even created jobs(for bureaucracy) to sustain previous levels of trade. I guess there's no evidence that increased bureaucracy is bad for business and the stats suggests that UK is doing great according to the government and some business with interest of processing EU users data not being able to do the things that Samsung is doing is a proof of reduction of bureaucracy. No?
And yet in the end trade hasn't changed, so apparently there's something wrong with your argument. Let's look at the list.
> Product-Specific Documentation
EU specific certificates were previously always required, now they sometimes aren't. A net reduction in bureaucracy.
> VAT and Duties: If you're selling to EU consumers, you may need to register for VAT in the EU or use the One-Stop Shop (OSS) scheme for simplified reporting.
VAT registration was previously required anyway. In some cases it can now be avoided; a net reduction in bureaucracy.
> Commercial Invoice ... Packing List: Provides details of the goods being shipped ... Proof of Transport documents
These are used regardless of where you ship to. Do you really think people are moving things about Europe without invoices or bills of lading? Net neutral.
> Trade Agreement Compliance: Ensure that your business complies with the terms set out in the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement, especially regarding rules of origin and applicable tariffs
Most UK trade is in services that are tariff free anyway, and trade agreement compliance is apparently easy enough to not discourage trade.
It's just not that big of a deal. Meanwhile "can't use AI" is a big deal for any economy that wishes to remain advanced.
