2015 BIFA conference

On November 26th, the British International Freight Association (BIFA) will bring together its members, HMRC and other appropriate stakeholders to discuss the impending changes in customs legislation emerging from the introduction of the Union Customs Code in May 2016, together with an assessment of the current situation concerning the EU’s Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) programme. A second session on the same day will address the issues surrounding new IMO regulations requiring verification of a container’s gross mass, which will become mandatory from July 1st, 2016.  BIFA members, other organisations and national authorities are now making preparations for this significant change to global container operations.
