Export B2B into the EU

[AlderleyMan]

Anyone out there who is exporting B2B into the EU. My goods are plastic bottles and coloured sand and meet EU regs. What kind of paperwork and is it fairly straight forward. I believe B2C you need a representative but I also believe B2B you don't need a representative. Therefore anyone doing B2B into the EU can they give me some guidance or what's involved in the shipping process.
Thanks

Produce a commercial invoice showing the EORI's of both you and your customer. Then contact a freight forwarder who will walk you through the process. Significant logistical changes since Brexit are that Export clearance from the UK and import clearance into Europe are required. This can be arranged by the forwarder. The forwarder will collect and deliver the goods plus take care of all the paperwork for you at an agreed price.

Thanks for advice, it does make sense to use a professional who is doing this every day.
