    So in what way can they support us??? If the EU say UK business's need a Fiscal Rep inside the EU, what do you expect our government to do about it??? Use taxpayers money to pay you for a Fiscal Rep??? It's fairly obvious that in any trade negotiation you put pressure on the opposite side to...

    Never said it was the EU's fault. But if the EU treats UK business's this way, it's pretty obvious that we should reciprocate. If they get a bit of stick from EU business's there side it might at least bring them to the negotiating table.

    The government is being too soft and not standing up to them. An EU business is free to register for VAT here without an intermediary. They should give notice to the EU that they are going to reverse that decision and cancel all VAT applications from the EU and insist they use an intermediary...

    UK Import Charges- Too High?

    Government doesn't charge anything apart from Duty & VAT. You say you have paid the VAT, but is there any duty on these products have you checked? Also does the $3358 include shipping charges from China?
