I suppose by default if we've ordered from a UK company, this is their problem whereas if we'd ordered from the Eurozone company we'd be directly liable... Or is that too simple?

Most international importers have something in the fine print that details what happens if there are changes in landed costs (whether through currency fluctuations, tariff changes, etc)Comment

More generally, do we KNOW what import duty rates and so on will default to in the event of a hard edit? For that matter, how much duty free booze we can bring in from the Eurozone?!

WTO | 2018 News items - United Kingdom submits draft schedule to the WTO outlining post-Brexit goods commitments
“Duty free” is essentially a meaningless phrase, retailers don’t just take the duty off and sell a product for the retail margin. Just think of them as “slightly cheaper goods”. But do the currency calculations first to see if they really are cheaper. And then compare over the course of a year to see if you save more on your two or three trips to the continent bringing back a couple of litres, compared to ordering a case of wine every week or two direct from the EU producers and having it imported tariff free anyway.Comment

No-deal import logistics?
Originally posted by Mordac View PostI tried that with tobacco, and guess what. It didn't work...
A carton of cigarettes (200 ciggies) is, what, £80? Take 20% VAT off, then take roughly £50 excise duty off:
Tobacco Products Duty rates - GOV.UK
Duty rate from 00:01am 20 May 2017
Cigarettes£207.99 per 1,000 cigarettes plus 16.5% of retail price
It’s not. Because although excise duty is charged and returned by the retailers, there’s nothing to stop them increasing their retail margin.
If you pay £60 in “duty free” for a carton instead of £80, it’s because the retailer is making a 600% markup on their usual retail margin.
Edit: the vast majority of cigarettes in the U.K. are imported anyway......Last edited by meridian; 13 September 2019, 23:34.Comment
