Fotoimpex and the UK (perhaps)
I received the appended e-mail from Fotoimpex this afternoon and thought it would be sensible to share it.
----- Dear Michael Smallman, it is probably not wrong to say that no one currently knows what will happen exactly about the UK leaving the EU. You are a Fotoimpex customer and have purchased from us in the last 5 years with a direct delivery as a part of the united european market. We would like to outline to you the solutions we can provide in case the UK leaves the european market without a „deal“ so we can continue to work together the best possible way in the future no matter what happens. If the british parliament accepts the deal of the british government with the EU nothing will happen for now and we continue like today. However, in case of a "hard brexit" there will be a suden customs border between our countries and the UK will be considered a „foreign territory“. This can happen as early as April 15th or alternatively May 23rd if the EU prolonges the deadline on request but no solution is found. The following changes will then happen: - You buy from us free of German VAT - In return there will be a customs procedure in the UK and you will be charged british duties and VAT upon arrival of the parcel - A very moderate surcharge will be applied to parcels to cover the import handling • 3,75 EUR´s for world postal parcels • 8,59 EUR´s for the fast and reliable courier service we have been using in the past to the UK So from „Brexit day one“ you can choose between one of the two in our webshop. Until then all is „normal“ as before. In a postal service parcel no harmful chemicals may be transported. If you enjoy chemicals like Rodinal or Neutol NE you will have to keep using the courier shippments or we recomend you to use one of our many excellent UK dealers. More info on our dealers can be found here: http://www.adox.de/Photo/find-a-dealer/ Apart from all of the above we expect delays and in the worse case chaos at the borders in all directions for the first weeks or even months. If you are in need of anything urgent we advise you to place an order now and do not wait what´s happening. With best regards from Berlin, Your German friends from FOTOIMPEX |

Thanks and useful info although only to be expected in the event of a No Deal Brexit.
