On 13 July the government launched a new campaign to help businesses and individuals prepare for the end of the transition period.
The campaign will set out the actions businesses and individuals need to take to prepare for the end of the transition period on 31 December 2020, and ensure they are ready to seize the opportunities that it will bring. Campaign advertisements will include the “Check, Change, Go” strapline which directs people and businesses to a straightforward checker tool at gov.uk/transition which quickly identifies the necessary next steps they need to take.
The actions people and business owners need to take vary based on their circumstances. They include:
-
Making sure you are ready to travel to Europe from 1 January 2021, for example by getting comprehensive travel insurance, ensuring your passport is valid, and checking your roaming policy with your mobile phone provider.
-
If you want to travel to Europe with your pet from 1 January 2021, contact your vet at least 4 months before you travel.
-
Making sure your business is ready to export or import from/to the EU, for example by getting an EU EORI number or registering with the relevant Customs Authority.
