"Overseas countries and territories: developments after Brexit" by Zofija Pečiukonienė Training specialist, Customs Training Center, Lithuania. Comment: Thanks for bringing our attention to this decision! Since originating goods can be imported into the EU duty-free and quota-free from the OCTs, and now that 12 territories of the UK are no longer covered, I wonder how many businesses were previously relying on cumulation which means now, they have to review if their goods are still qualifying. Out of interest, has anyone dealt with this since the end of the Brexit transition period?

"The role and importance of customs representation in Bulgaria" by Assoc. Prof. Momchil Antov, Ph.D. Department of Control and Analysis of Economic Activity at D. A. Tsenov Academy of Economics – Svishtov. Comment: Thank you for sharing the insightful numbers! Customs brokers play an important role in Bulgaria. Numbers in Lithuania are similar. In 2020, 85% of import and 87% of export declarations were made using customs brokers' services. Quality training of customs brokers is of high importance.
