How will/has brexit changed your business.
Discussion
I know another brexit thread but as we now know the whats what how has it or will it change your business.
I used to import a lot from Germany and Italy but closed my business down 2013 ish as the new purchase contract was a bit optimistic on their part. Importing pallets and parcels was a doddle. Importing from Germany 20/25kg parcel for 25euro in 3 or 4 days was great when i needed something that wasnt a pallet load. I did fancy starting something else but held off with brexit. Going through the whats what now and looking at options. I think the parcels may be out due to paperwork now so pallet delivery only. No idea on any cost increases.

I think any arrangements we have from January will probably get streamlined in some way in time. I think it's still pretty unclear just at the moment what the actual processes are and how much cost will be incurred.
My bet would be that within a couple of years we will have swathes of sectors of imports that will go into some kind of exemption agreement with the EU to suspend customs declarations checks altogether. Hopefully back in the EU within 10 years.

The Eu are in a difficult position here. On the one hand they don't want to make leaving the EU look easy and consequence free, otherwise the other countries will be queuing up to jump from the sinking ship. On the other hand, the countries who rely on the UK as a major market for their own exports won't want to make it difficult for goods to travel between the UK and the EU, in either direction.
The initial difficulties will soon be overcome, there's nothing for either party to worry about long term. What's bad for one side will be equally bad for the other, that's a fact that has be proven time and time again.
