How will Brexit impact on internationalmail and parcel deliveries?

East Midlands AirportGrowth Forum

The goal for October 2018 is to finalise a withdrawal treatygoverning the UK’s departure from the EU as well as apolitical framework agreement covering the futurerelationship between the two entities. What this means and

what it will finally look like nobody can be sure, but as the

October deadline looms closer, Spatial Global, like its clients,

needs to plan for the worst and hope for the best.

According to www.parliament.uk, the UK websitefeaturing the latest news from the House of Commonsand House of Lords:

“Non-participation in the EU’s cross border parcel delivery regimewill have little impact on UK stakeholders. However, leaving thecustoms union and the single market will potentially lead tocustoms duties, border formalities, and import VAT being appliedto parcel deliveries between the UK and the EU (and vice-versa),which would lead to slower delivery times and increased costs forbusinesses and consumers.”

No one can exactly pinpoint how Brexit will affect parcel deliverybetween the UK and Europe, but what appears to be clear is thatslower parcel delivery times are highly likely. Plus, it’s expected thatany item worth over a value of £15 will be liable to VAT. The price ofVAT may even be approximately 20% of the total value of the item.This could have a significant impact on UK based ecommerce brands.

You can be sure that we’ll keep you informed as soon asthe facts are available.

However, thehighlight for Rachel was meeting thelegendary Sir Jackie Stewart.

“Until Lewis Hamilton won the 2017 FormulaOne World Championship, no British driverhad surpassed his record of three WorldChampionship wins (1969, 1971, 1973). It wasa great honour to meet him and a real privilegeto do it at such an iconic sporting event.”Rachel MorleyGeneral Manager Operations, Spatial Global

Demand in growth setto outpace Cargofleet during 2018-2019An insight to the forecasts for containertrade and regional port volumes by aleading independent provider ofresearch to the maritime sector haspredicted slow and steady recovery forcontainer shipping.

Are higher freight rates potentially on the way? The outlook for the container shippingmarket in 2018 and 2019 is for a healthygrowth in demand that will outpace the fleetcapacity.

Customs Handling of Import and ExportFreight (CHIEF) systemCHIEF currently processes declarations tofacilitate the international movement of goodsbetween the UK and non-EU countries. It allows importers, exporters and freightforwarders to complete customs informationelectronically, and automatically checks forentry errors. The system is responsible for

processing declarations for goods entering andleaving the UK or EU through ports andairports and calculating the correct amount ofduty and taxes.

The decision to replace CHIEF with CDS wasmade before the EU referendum, however CDSwill be scaled to handle any potential increasesin the volume of declarations that may resultfrom the UK’s exit from the EU.

Spatial Global supporting the PPA Spatial Global has become an associatemember of the Professional PublishersAssociation. The PPA is the association forpublishers and providers of consumer andbusiness media in the UK. Its role is topromote and protect the interests of theindustry and member companies.

Why the PPA is important to Spatial Global Just as TV was predicted to kill off radio, theinternet was forecast to ring the doomsday bellfor print publishing. However, although it has hadan impact there is no doubting the benefitsmagazines continue to deliver in this ‘internetage.’ As much of publishing is driven byadvertising and subscription, quality printedmagazines continue to have the reach, trust anddemand more attention than their competingdigital media formats. Which is why the PPA isimportant to the industry, as it shares bestpractice by recognising and rewarding innovation.

Spatial Global is proud to serve thepublishing sector The publishing sector has been undertremendous pressures to adapt to achanging and fast evolving digital medialandscape for more than two decades now.Spatial Global is proud to serve thepublishing sector and help this great industrydevelop ways to ensure their readers cancontinue to access printed publications.
