NEW EURO TARIFFS AND CHARGES – AND HOW TO MAKE SURE YOU’RE NOT PAYING TOO MUCH

NEW EURO TARIFFS AND CHARGES – AND HOW TO MAKE SURE YOU’RE NOT PAYING TOO MUCH

Leaving the EU and its former trade deals has meant that there has been an explosion of new regulations, tariffs and ways of reporting to Customs and HMRC to contend with, and many more still yet to come as deals are negotiated and confirmed. 

 

To ensure you can continue to trade with Europe – and the world – and be confident that you are following the new rules correctly, the Business Gateway Growth Hub has launched their EU Connections campaign, which aims to make this period less confusing, helping business leaders in Leicester and Leicestershire to focus on running their operations and trading successfully.

The Business Gateway Growth Hub has created a team of dedicated business specialists who are on-hand to offer guidance or signposting to the right information or resource.  Their support is fully funded – so free to access.   

The Growth Hub has developed a range of easy-to-access resources, including a website and dedicated telephone helpline with skilled experts (Mon-Fri).  Their team of expert trade specialists are also on hand to offer 1-2-1 consultations for more complex enquiries.

A critical component of their EU Connections toolbox is a useful program of webinars that can be viewed live, or on catch-up via their website (www.bizgateway.org.uk).

The upcoming Rules of Origin webinar, focussing on Avoiding Tariffs and Charges is scheduled for Wednesday 3rd March (3:00pm-4:30pm). 

Business leaders are invited to attend this webinar if they have been impacted by the EU Exit; businesses selling goods into the EU that are not wholly manufactured in the UK, and which rely on components, materials and ingredients from a range of origins; or those looking to see if there is an export market for their product. 

This 90-minute webinar will focus on:

  • An overview of the rules of origin and where you might fall foul.
  • Some classic examples of where companies are falling foul.
  • How to ensure your products comply with the rules of origin to avoid tariffs when selling to the EU.
  • How to plan and move to full compliance.
  • How to audit your supply chain.
  • How to onshore elements of your supply chain to ensure compliance and invest in local skills and work.
  • Where to find additional help and support.
