On January 31, 2020 the United Kingdom will leave the EU. From this date, the UK will no longer be a member of the EU. However, there is a transitional period until the end of 2020 for the movement of goods between the EU and the UK. The customs status of the UK after this period will depend on the ongoing negotiations and agreements with the EU. One outcome may be that the UK will be given the status of a third country from the EU's point of view. This means that the movement of goods and thus parcel dispatch between the EU and the UK will in this case be subject to customs supervision from January 1, 2021 at the earliest.
