Apparently as from 1st July, the EU has imposed tariffs on printed subscriber magazines coming from UK into the EU.
I subscribe to 3 printed UK magazines, as I much prefer a paper copy to digital.
One of my magazines, The Tablet, has foreseen this months ago and has successfully made an agreement to have its European subscriber edition printed in Ireland.
As for the other two, I don't know as yet.
What on earth is Brussels thinking?
I cannot believe this will bring that much revenue into its coffers.
The EU is nothing more than a protectionist racket.
Quote:
Nothing to do with Brexit and as long as the goods being shipped from the Uk were made in the Uk this tariff should not be applied, The Uk has an agreement that bypasses this.
My son sells goods that he makes (from my original patterns) into the EU and he has applied for exemption. Its just all the lazy business people importing from china and selling on where the issue lies.
I really wish people would stop blaming everything on Brexit, yes it was a pain and I wont buy Heinz salad cream cause its so bloody expensive now (silly really as the stuff is made in Elst and I know this for a fact as I moved the machines from the Uk there years ago and set up the factory). But its not the cause of every single little issue.
The new €3 flat customs duty is a global rule applied by the European Union to all third countries (non-EU nations) across the world.
The primary target of this reform is the massive influx of ultra-cheap e-commerce shipments originating from Asian manufacturing hubs—specifically targeting giant Chinese marketplaces like Temu, Shein, and AliExpress
While it was not created because of Brexit, Great Britain is affected by it because it is no longer an EU member:
In summary, this is a broad EU-wide e-commerce customs reform targeting global retail models, but Brexit means British exports to the EU happen to get caught in the same crossfire
