Trading with the European Union

Trading with the European Union has changed since Brexit. There are new rules and trading standard for transactions you participate in. For all of the details on this, please refer to the government website below.

Government Advice on Trading with the European Union.

EORI

Following government guidance on the new changes, you may require an EORI number to appear on your reports for transactions with customers/suppliers in the EU. 

Protean is able to apply these EORI numbers to your Protean reports so they appear on invoices and other relevant documents. You will need to contact the Support team with the relevant details to initiate this. There is no charge for this service.

For details on initiating this, please refer to the article on our support website below.

Applying EORI Numbers to your Protean Reports.

Commodity Codes

You may also choose to include Tariff/Commdity codes on stock items you import or export. There is in built function in our new build of Protean that will help record this information against stock records. Please see the article below for details on how to set these up against stock records in Protean.

VAT Rates

You will also need to adjust the VAT code on any EU customers or suppliers so they are included in the zero rates (import/export) group on the VAT return not the EU Sales/Purchases.
