Brexit Changes

As of the 1st of January 2021, Great Britain has left the European Union and with this comes new legislation surrounding the export of goods from Great Britain to Europe. We would like to take this opportunity to reassure all our customers, that we will do everything we can to facilitate the smooth exportation and importation of their goods. We are working in conjunction with various customs agents in EU countries who will take care of the exportation and importation of goods. Any queries or questions please email [email protected].
