EU RESTRICTING NON-EU COMPANIES ACTING AS EXPORTERS

VAT Live on 14^th October reported that the Netherlands has become the latest EU member state to block non-EU Customs Union companies acting as the exporter of record following the EU changing the definition of an exporter for customs from July 2018.  Germany, Belgium, Italy, Hungary, Lithuania and the Czech Republic have imposed the restriction to date, and it will apply to UK businesses in the case of a Brexit without a transition deal out of the Customs Union.
