	uin	3555
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2019 answer text <p>Under the existing Union Customs Code (UCC) rules, businesses exporting goods are required to provide safety and security information. Article 263 of the Union Customs Code (Regulation (EU) No 952/2013) requires the submission of pre-departure declarations. This can be fulfilled through a customs declaration made under Article 263, or alternatively under Article 270 for re-exports, or in other cases under Article 271 by means of exit summary declarations. An exit summary declaration is only needed where a fiscal export declaration has not been lodged or is not required.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 28/10/2019 14:04:32 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

For the protection of the single regulatory zone, and to ensure that the correct tariffs are applied, it will be necessary to collect information on goods moving from the rest of the UK to Northern Ireland. Declarations will be electronic and, to minimise the impact on traders, will be designed to collect necessary fiscal and regulatory data as part of the same process. This agreement protects the economy of Northern Ireland and Ireland by ensuring that all businesses can continue to trade easily across the North-South border without customs checks or controls.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 28/10/2019 13:49:26 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
