    Pre Brexshit, I could bring as much deerskin as I liked over from Germany.  Now, we have to do this:

    _The Shipper’s Export Declaration (S.E.D) is needed to leave the origin country.

    An S.E.D is required by the government when an export:

    •Contains any single type of commodity with a value limit.
    •Contains a commodity that requires a validated export license regardless of the value.
    •Contains a commodity with a license exemption._

    I have a horrible feeling The Big Buck just became seriously endangered….

          OK.  After 6 months of experience shipping to the EU, we have a decent amount of empirical evidence under our belts.

          1. Shipping via The Netherlands gives us no advantages
          2. Paying 12% duty on Japanese goods shipped from UK to EU is unavoidable
          3. We will revert to shipping direct
          4. We will continue to ship DDP, which means that we will pick up any VAT, duty and fees on your behalf
          5. We have had to increase return shipping from the EU back to the UK to USD35.  It costs more to ship back to us from EU now than virtually anywhere else in the world
          6. We have had to implement an additional charge for the following countries:
            Latvia
            Estonia
            Lithuania
            Bulgaria
            Romania
            Croatia
            Greece
            These countries have decided that they can make money out of Brexit.  For instance imports into Greece are charged an additional £34.57 brokerage charge plus £12.80 storage on top of VAT, duty, disbursement. So to send a USD32 pair of socks, we pay circa GBP90 for the shipping and associated costs…..

                      @Giles , I’ve been saying that for weeks. How come every other country that is also dealing with COVID isn’t experiencing the same issues that we are. Idiocy of the highest order.

                          And yet one the “senior” managers at work was loudly complaining in a meeting last week that “it’s about time that the EU decided where it wants it’s border with Ireland”.

                          There is so much wrong with that statement that I scarcely know where to begin……

                                I just can't with how fiscally detrimental that call was to separate. I hate the rad ppl like you, @Giles, get to enjoy the fallout of such a decision.

                                      Yep. Could you just make all sales routed through Iron Heart America? I suppose that really would be counter to all of the efforts to lower the carbon footprint of the brand, though.

                                          @sabergirl though we could probably replant the Amazon with all the costs saved with shipping directly into the EU
