Notice of UK Port Congestion Surcharge
One of the major ocean carriers has announced that from 14th February 2010 a “UK port congestion surcharge” of US$100 per TEU (twenty foot equivalent unit) will be charged on all imported containers arriving from the far east until further notice.
Whilst we intend to lobby against such a surcharge, the likely hood is that all other major carriers will follow suit. These surcharges are circumstantial beyond our control and regret that where such a surcharge has been issued, will be recovered in our sales invoices.

Thank you for your attention and understanding.

China Sees Upturn in Economy
The Hong Kong shippers Council suggests that “there has been a substantial improvement in export demand” and this has led to the ocean carriers operating the Far East Trade lanes to introduce an Emergency BAF and from 15th August will implement a Peak Season surcharge. This is on top of the already increasing freight rates.

Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI)
Following an EU legislation change, a new trader identification system is being introduced through out the EU on 1st July 2009 called the “Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI). This will affect economic operators involved with import, export or transit of 3rd country goods.

The EORI number will be used by an economic operator in communications with any EU Customs authority whwn an identifier is required, for example Customs declarations.

As a result the current TURN (Trader Unique Reference Number) system in the UK will be replaced by EORI. In most cases it will be the same as your current TURN (VAT Number + 3 digits (usually 000)) and your business will be unaffected. You may continue to use your current TURN on Customs declarations up to midnight 30th June 2009 and you may commence using your EORI number any time after the 1st April 2009 prior to full implementation of EORI on 1st July 2009.

For further information about EORI please visit HMRC website www.hmrc.gov.uk, follow the links for the red box Businesses & corporations>imports & exports> International Trade Developments>EORI
