Get Ready for Brexit
Prepare yourself for customs formalities!
The European Union has granted the United Kingdom a delay until 31 January 2020 to withdraw. Deal or no-deal, you will always cross an external border of the EU when transporting to and from the United Kingdom. In terms of cargo traffic via the Dutch ports, this will irrevocably result in customs formalities. In the case of a no-deal Brexit immediately on the 31st of January 2020, in the case of a deal after a transition period until the 1st of January 2021. Make sure that you are ready in time. Register right now as a participant in the Dutch Brexit solution. Only by working together can we prevent delays.

No document, no transport
The basis for the Dutch chain solution for Brexit is the digital pre-notification of your customs documents at terminals through the Port Community System of Portbase. This is mandatory at all ferry terminals and most shortsea terminals.
Please note! Without a digitally pre-notified customs document via Portbase, you will not be granted access to the terminals. To prevent this, the transporter uses Portbase to verify beforehand whether the terminal has all the advance information.
