Trade Agreement Switzerland-United Kingdom - IMPORTANT: Changed rules of origin
After the one-year transition period, the United Kingdom left the EU internal market and the EU customs union. Furthermore, the international agreements of the EU no longer apply to the United Kingdom. They have been replaced by a new agreement. At the same time, the free trade agreement between Switzerland and the United Kingdom has been in force since January 1, 2021.
Unfortunately, these two agreements are not fully compatible. For exports to the United Kingdom, Swiss exporters must observe the following points when claiming preferential origin since January 1, 2021.
learn more Close- Primary materials from the EU are considered to be third countries in the manufacture of goods in Switzerland, even if they were previously imported duty-free. For exports to the United Kingdom, these may no longer be considered as originating goods when calculating the origin. We therefore advise Swiss exporters of goods to the United Kingdom to check their preference calculation.
- If Swiss exporters purchase goods from the EU with preferential treatment and send them on to the United Kingdom, no EUR 1 movement certificates / declarations of origin may be issued. Customs duties must be paid by the importer when importing into the UK.

Empty container shortage in Asia
As a result of the acute shortage of containers - especially in China - some container vessels were not in a position to sail from Asia to Europe in full use in the past few weeks. There are not enough containers in the container depots to meet the current demand.
In particular, there are serious bottlenecks in the 40‘ HCs, and 40‘ standard containers have also been put into operation - even 20‘ containers are sometimes displayed as unavailable.
The latest report on container availability states that availability across China is “still at a record low”.

Bottlenecks in the logistics industry
The logistics industry is confronted with massive bottlenecks on all modes of transport:
Container ships from the Far East are partly fully booked by the end of the year, and rates are skyrocketing. Containers are also in short supply.
Anyone who wants to switch to air freight or rail transport must also expect difficulties. Business is booming and prices are rising accordingly. Due to the elimination of passenger flights, there is a lack of freight capacities in air freight, not only in imports, but also in exports and worldwide.
