We wanted to share with you an update to our article “Returned Goods Relief: Common misunderstandings” published in January 2021. This article includes updates and practical information from the first 3 months post ‘Brexit’.

We have been working with aircraft owners and operators to resolve the import issues arising from the two new customs and tax territories. Until both the UK and EU27 provide clear updated guidance or rules on RGR, aircraft owners and operators are subject to increased risk by relying on RGR to protect an aircraft’s import status, particularly as different EU member states may take differing views on the correct application of post Brexit RGR. This risk is magnified as a result of the current political tension between the UK and EU27 and may last for some time until legal clarity is available.

Given the potential for challenge to the use of RGR we would strongly recommend seeking advice from qualified customs and tax advisers before relying on using RGR for your aircraft.
