United Kingdom: FAIRS Annual Country Report

The United Kingdom (UK) continues to implement changes to its border control measures, following its departure from the European Union (EU). Changes in 2024 will primarily affect imports from the EU and bring the requirements in line with those for the rest of the world including the United States. With England, Wales, and Scotland - Great Britain (GB) - outside of the EU single market and customs union, exporters should ensure they are familiar with the GB requirements which do differ from the EU in some areas, albeit remaining similar. Northern Ireland (NI) remains within the EU single market and customs union and, again, exporters should familiarize themselves with the specific requirements for trade to or via this part of the UK. Please review the report for additional information.
