Click into the Brexit, Food Safety and your Food Business Survey to take part - it should take only 5 mins to complete. The closing date is Friday 2 October. Your feedback from the survey will help us provide targeted help and support to you over the coming months to make sure you are ready for the changes that Brexit will bring.
Get Ready for Brexit – Act nowRevenue urges businesses to get Brexit ready now. From 1 January 2021 customs formalities will apply to the movement of goods to, from and through Great Britain and your food business must be able to complete these customs formalities in order to continue this trade. Revenue's focus is on helping and supporting the businesses that will be immediately impacted by Brexit from 1 January 2021. A key starting point, which still has not been completed by some businesses, is registering for an Economic Operators Registration and Identification number (EORI). Watch the EORI registration video to find out how to register. Revenue: Your next steps in getting Brexit Ready

What Revenue systems do I use for my imports and exports?Revenue is implementing a new Automated Import System (AIS) in November 2020. Exports will continue to be managed using the Automated Entry Processing (AEP) system. Visit Revenue customs electronic systems for more information What about importing food and food contact materials - are there other requirements?From 1 January 2021, Irish businesses that currently buy food or food contact materials from Great Britain and place them on the Irish market will become importers. Your food business will need to comply with the requirements for importing food and food contact materials, and with the requirements for placing imported food on the Irish market. To know what this means and to make sure you are ready, visit our website at www.fsai.ie/Brexit. Upcoming Brexit EventsWe will be launching our new e-learning module ‘Brexit – Food import requirements’ at the end of September. This free e-learning module will help food businesses with the requirements for importing food or food contact materials from Great Britain. Brexit information webinars will take place on 5 and 6 October 2020. Revenue, in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation, will host these Brexit information webinars to support businesses in identifying and understanding the implications of Brexit and what you need to focus on in getting Brexit ready. Webinar registration information is available at www.revenue.ie/brexit.
Brexit Readiness Action PlanOn 9 September, the Government launched its Brexit Readiness Action Plan. The Action Plan supports and promotes the necessary preparations for the substantial and enduring changes that will arise at the end of the Brexit transition period on 31 December 2020. Regardless of the outcome of the EU-UK negotiations, a number of outcomes are already clear. The most significant of which is that, in less than four months, the UK will be outside the EU’s Single Market and Customs Union. Time is short and action is required now. To read the plan or to get further information, visit www.gov.ie/Brexit. We will continue to keep you updated and provide information and advice on the steps you need to take to be prepared for 1 January 2021. For up-to-date information on Brexit, visit our website at www.fsai.ie/Brexit or email Brexit@fsai.ie if you have any specific questions. Look out for future FSAI Brexit Ezines.
