Global Customs Newsletter #1/2021 now available

We are more than happy to share with you our first Global Customs Newsletter. We have compiled news on trade and customs developments from all over the world and we believe that these will be of interest for you.

Not only COVID-19 has a huge impact on global trade. The political situations in countries around the globe also influence companies´ lives.

Free Trade Agreements become increasingly more important in order to simplify trade and save costs by eliminating customs duties. RCEP is the largest FTA that has ever been signed. We inform you about it in our article.

Whilst FTAs create open markets, controls, at the same time, become increasingly more important. Export control is a topic of growing importance. In China, a new export control regime has gone live. Our colleagues from Asia give an overview.

In the US, the new President will change many of the things that Donald Trump decided upon. This situation will certainly be part of our newsletter in the future. A first article is contained in this newsletter.

In Europe, we also have some interesting developments. During times when shops have closed down, e-commerce has become even more important than ever. For customs declarations, the question of low-value consignments has always been very important. The upcoming changes for e-commerce changes are explained in our newsletter.
