Temporary suspension of UK services
DB Schenker has identified significant problems relating to the new customs formalities that now apply to shipments between the European Union and the United Kingdom as a result of Brexit.
Only around 10% of the customs documents submitted for consignments that DB Schenker has been commissioned to ship have been complete and free of errors.
To effectively manage the increased workload that has resulted from this situation, DB Schenker is mobilising personnel for the Brexit task force that the company established more than a year ago. These employees will be responsible for supporting corrections and producing compliant customs documents.
Despite this extra effort, DB Schenker has been forced to put a temporarily hold on the acceptance of new consignments for shipment to UK. (ben)
