Brexit Update
With Britain due to leave the EU
on 01/01/2021 certain features have been
added to the system to deal with VAT
changes etc.
This help doc will talk you
through possible changes that you may need
to make in the system.
Set United Kingdom to a Non
EU country
In the Control Panel >
Country List edit United Kingdom and
change from EU Member to Non EU

Ensure Northern Ireland has the ISO code set to "GB" OR "XI"

Change VAT Rules in the system
VAT is calculated when invoices
are raised, not when the job is booked. So
it is recommended you close of invoicing
for 2020 before making the change to the
VAT rules in the system.
In the control panel > vat rules
you can manage how VAT is calculated on each
type of work. Changes on this page will only
be able to be saved by an Administrator
In the event of a "No Deal Brexit"
the VAT configuration should be as per
below
*As of 30/12/2020 with the new
proposed deal this VAT configuration would
remain correct

Your agent service codes may need
updating
Should you be using a carrier
integration IE DHL, you may need to update the
service codes on international tariffs.
Traditionally EU consignments with
DHL would use the Service codes ECX or ESU
these would need changing to WPX or ESI
respectively.

EORI Details
You will now see on a customer
account you can set an EORI number which will
appear on the commercial invoice generated in
the system, sent in to integrated carriers and
appear on the CSV manifest to agents.

Should you need to show a different
EORI number on the booking you can use the
"Show Customs" tab on an export booking which
allows you to add additional information to
invoices such as customs declaration, export
license, shippers and consignees EORI
number.
