On January 31st the United Kingdom entered into a Transition Period, which is scheduled to run until December 31, 2020.
Imports and exports will continue as they are for the duration of this period. However, as the terms of any future trade agreement between the UK and EU are still uncertain, customers should be aware of the potential for trading relations to change.
