The Brexit trade deal has now been negotiated by the UK Government. This means that much of our trade within the EU will be free of tariffs with most items qualifying for preferential trade.
Due to the short notice regarding the terms of the trade agreement we are expecting some minor disruption in the first few weeks of the year. Express shipments will likely be unaffected but please allow an extra day for economy services.
We have fixed our freight prices at their 2022 rates, €19.50 and €20.00 to the Netherlands and Germany respectively for shipments under 20kg.
DHL are charging £4.50 or £0.25 per KG for exports clearance which is billed to the shipper’s account.
We recommend that you contact DHL and request that MPCC are added to your approved list and provide fixed clearance instructions. This will allow shipments to be automatically cleared with no input from yourselves.
We are fully prepared to trade with the EU as a third country and you can expect no issues relating to our shipping documents or packaging.
Please contact Tom Almond thomasalmond@mpcc.co.uk directly if you have any concerns or clarifications regarding Brexit.
