PUBLIC PUBLIC CURRENT SITUATION
PUBLIC DHL Express is preparing Dedicated taskforces in the UK and Europe have been assessing every aspect of Brexit since the EU referendum in 2016, considering all implications and known risks. As international specialists, we’re already in a strong position with existing customs teams, network capabilities and experience of international trade. Across the business we are making significant and continued investment with the aim of maintaining service post-Brexit, in what will potentially be challenging circumstances. We are planning based on available information. If requirements change, we will adapt, but some elements will be beyond our control and will have an impact across our sector. We will all need to work together to overcome the challenge of Brexit, and we will continue to inform you of any developments. In the meantime, please be assured that our determination to maintain an excellent service for all our customers remains unchanged. The following presentation refers to preparations for a ‘No Deal’ scenario, where the UK leaves the EU without a Withdrawal Agreement, and falls back to World Trade Organisation (WTO) tariffs and terms with no legal framework for non-WTO matters.

PUBLIC FTA and trade associations – serious concerns… “The FTA has consistently warned that it will be extremely challenging for logistics companies to operate post Brexit in a no deal situation . With no clarity on the adequacy of customs and border arrangements, probable delays at the border and extensive investments being required – it will be very difficult for businesses to prepare for every situation .“ Head of Global & European Policy Freight Transport Association FTA's response to leaked ‘Yellowhammer’ Brexit report “ Businesses can only prepare for and implement new processes once and still need confirmation of what they are to adopt in the way of new practices, while still maintaining existing trading relationships and keeping costs down. The logistics industry is at the heart of the UK’s economy, impacting every individual and business. The report shows that there is still significant detail to be clarified if Britain is to keep trading efficiently after Brexit. Leaving the logistics industry still waiting for detail on trading arrangements after Brexit is to hinder the very businesses that will be relied upon to keep Britain trading through a costly and difficult No Deal Brexit. Efficient logistics is vital to keep Britain trading, directly having an impact on more than seven million people employed in the making, selling and moving of goods. With Brexit, new technology and other disruptive forces driving change in the way goods move across borders and through the supply chain, logistics has never been more important to UK plc.” (Published Thursday 12 September 2019) SOURCE : https://fta.co.uk/media/press-releases/2019/september/fta-response-to-yellowhammer-document-release Supporting our customers through Brexit | October 2019 6

PUBLIC PUBLIC WHAT ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS?
PUBLIC Preparing for Customs in the EU It is likely that customs procedures will apply when trading with the EU after Brexit. Already trading outside the EU? If you’re currently trading outside the EU, you’ll be familiar with customs requirements. The information in this section could still be useful in helping you prepare, please review the content on Paperless Trade, EORI numbers, Returns, and Delivery Duty Paid in particular. Only trading with the EU? If you’re currently only shipping within the EU, now is the time to familiarise yourself with customs procedures. The following checklist is designed to highlight areas where you can make customs clearance a smoother process post-Brexit. There are lots of help materials available in addition to this guide. We suggest reaching out to your local Chambers of Commerce for advice on any specific paperwork required for your products – they can produce Certificates of Origin (COO) or ATA Carnets, for example. DHL Express will submit customs paperwork directly to Customs on your behalf as we send your shipments. Providing the relevant documents via our Paperless Trade option will help ensure swift customs processing. Supporting our customers through Brexit | October 2019 14
