Further to last week’s article regarding the announcement of the Common User Charge, Defra held a webinar covering how the charge will apply to imports entering GB through the Port of Dover and Eurotunnel from 30th April 2024.
The webinar covered the following areas:
- What is the Common User Charge
- What is in scope
- What is out of scope
- Common User Charge rates
- Who pays the charge
- Compliance framework
- Guidance and support for business
We can report that there were over 700 people on the webinar, a testament to just how emotive a subject this is.
Disappointingly, there were also a significant number of people reporting they were unable to join the session as it appears it had reached capacity. Therefore, for those who may have missed it, a copy of the slides can be accessed here.
A recording of the webinar is also now available on their YouTube channel here.
You will see on the slides that some pre-submitted questions were answered but many questions remain. If members have any questions, please do not hesitate to send them through to deniserion@bfff.co.uk who will be happy to assist.
BFFF will be reviewing all relevant information over the coming weeks and will endeavour to keep members updated.
