Cruising after Brexit in Europe: temporary admission
Following the exit of the United Kingdom from the EU, many are
wondering about the consequences of Brexit for the right to
navigation of UK-flagged vessels.
Since the entry into force of Brexit, the only provision which
may be referred to is the Circolare No.
49/2020 issued by the Customs and Monopolies Agency,
it states that starting from January 1, 2021 the United Kingdom has
to be considered as a non-EU country.
In view of this, vessels flying the UK flag (i.e. the flag of
the United Kingdom, not including protectorates) in the European
territory will be required to observe the 18-month temporary
admission, which allows them to remain for the limited period of 18
months in a country of the European Union, without paying and/or
guaranteeing customs duties.
