Ups - I though there was an agreement that no Import charges shall be charged?!?

Doesn't look like it.
And between what is agreed and what administrations make of it......

I paid yesterday €31 for two oil take offs of my renovated engine sent from the UK.
The post office and private shipping companies have stockpiles of stuff unable to enter the UK because the paperwork is not what UK administration wants.

More pollution on the way but free heating.

Brexit: Retailers warn they could burn goods stuck in EU

UK retailers may abandon goods EU customers want to return because it is cheaper than bringing them home.

You'll soon need travellers cheques again to go to the UK. :cool:

Lothar,

It seems the small traders/ buyers have been forgotten in the process, free trade between big companies,that"s why Nissan is staying in the UK.Sound a familiar story, big guys little guys.?
 
Let's face it, with the EU refusing to discuss trade until the last phase (thought it was an economic trade based organisation 😂😂😂 EU flag and talks of EU army aside) combined with the government inability to organise a piss up in a brewery, this had balls up written all over it...🤪

Nissan Plant in UK is also the most productive car plant in Europe, another reason to stay.

Only until Tesla's new plant in eastern Germany gets productive I guess... But then - they will "only" produce 500.000 cars/year or so. Peanuts. ;-)

BTW: Nissan produces also around 500.000 cars, Volkswagen in Osnabrück over 700.000. So much to the "most productive site in Europe" 😘

(Nissan's factory is only the "most productive" factory, because the have automated so much that - in relation to the few workers there... - they produce 150 cars/worker... very sad record, which only shows that they kill jobs...).

Lets face it Lothar, building combustion engined cars cars is a fools game now. I don't know why you are getting so wound up about it.
 
Pats right, hence why Nissan are moving there battery plant up to Sunderland.My outdated (but car of the year several times )Qashqais" engine is used in some Mercedes Benz models,they all share stuff. Outdated now though being, err sorry, being a diesel .It was a shame they had to clear a mini forest/green field site to build Teslers plant,

Spider think this effects all of us that aren"t big companies.

Hey Shaun, my diesel Nissan X-Trail just punched a hole in the block and destroyed itself. I liked that car too.
I can only afford an electric scooter from the eco range so it looks like I'm facing eco poverty from now on ha ha!
 
Well all I can say to that Shaun is, "Bugger!" :(
That puts the single seat option from Biagio a bit further out of my budget then,,,, possibly.
Perhaps I might have to get the Singer out after all and source the bits-n-bobs for it myself over here. :( :(
 
I know it is from the USA, but this website seems remarkably clear:

I was currently helping S***** to get spare parts from Germany to the UK.

My experiences:
- Yes, it is a significantly higher effort if it is a business matter.
- You have to list every little thing with name, number, weight and value.
- The filling out of the forms has primarily to do with the customs regulations of UK!
- The shipping costs have become significantly higher because of the extra effort.

E.g. 5 kg including insurance and tracking: DHL previously 15.99 EUR, after Brexit 26.90 EUR.
That is a 68% increase for the UK citizen to bear. With higher values, there are additional import taxes.

The solution for little paperwork:
- Send the goods as a gift.
- If the recipient in the UK is happy about the gifted goods, he can subsequently make a donation to the sender via PayPal.

So in the end everyone is happy again.

Keep it simple ;-)

So if you order things above £135 in value everything is the same as before?

Thomas, how do you know it's the customs regulations of England?

It's always the same principle.
The recipient country determines the requirements.
Germany is happy when something is sold abroad. They would be stupid if they made exporting difficult on their own.

The only exception is the export of weapons or sensitive items (nuclear power plants, some chemicals, ...).

E.g. we also have a lot of effort, when we want to send something to Switzerland, which is a direct neighbor of Germany.
