Simplify new Customs procedures for EU and Ireland freight import / export

Petition Details

Take urgent action to remove at least some of the mountain of red tape from import and export customs procedures. Industry is currently losing £millions because of the late struck deal that cannot be administered properly by hauliers, their clients and HMRC's inland facilities.

Additional Information

The level of paperwork involved is unsustainable, along with the need for TAD guarantees now for 27 countries, which will cripple trade finance. Hauliers are going to be bankrupt within weeks if their drivers continue to be held waiting for document processing for days on end. Even with the seemingly correct paperwork, they can be held for an entire day, causing untold costs to all involved, with no chance of reimbursement. The country is already becoming a no go area for continental hauliers.
