Danish Customs getting Brexit ready

Leaving the UK EU without an agreement, citizens and businesses must pay customs and use other documents and procedures in connection with the deal.

Therefore, the task of the Customs Agency is growing both in relation to guidance on trade with countries outside the EU, but also in relation to the increased control.

Yesterday, Maren Holm Johansen, Director of the Customs Agency, explained to Danish TV 2 News;

“If the UK leaves the EU without an agreement, it means that we will increase our third country trade by approx. 15%. It is 15% more work for the Customs Service, and therefore we need more resources – more hands”.
