Danny Hughes, Chief Executive Officer, Fastway Couriers Ireland said: “We began planning for Brexit a long time ago, and have made significant strides including securing Authorised Economic Operator Status (AEO) from Revenue earlier this year. We also hold several customs authorisations enabling us to rapidly process customs clearance declarations of our clients’ parcels”. Hughes added, post-Brexit, Revenue expects the current 1.6 million customs declarations to dramatically increase to 20 million per annum and our partnership with Manifest Ireland will enable Fastway Couriers to simplify the entire customs process, for our clients, in a time of so much uncertainty”.
