Urgent - Secretary of State letter on Outstanding EU Exit Matters

As you know, following the end of the transition period, on 1 January 2021, as a result of the UK becoming a third country there will be new processes that UK exporters and importers must comply with.

  

Please find here a letter from Secretary Of State for Defra, George Eustice, which summarises the several live issues which have a bearing on these changes, and outlines the new trade requirements arising from EU prohibitions and restrictions (P&R), based on the information we have available at this time.   

​

Defra will be publishing further information on the relevant commodities on gov.uk shortly but wanted to provide you with the information in advance. P&R is a complex and wide-spanning issue which results in a range of commodities being prevented or restricted from being imported or exported between GB and the EU as of 1 January 2021. Please see the attached annex for initial details of which P&R will potentially affect you.
