    Company Directors Required to Hand Over Digital ID to Companies House

    Company Directors Required to Hand Over Digital ID to Companies House

    Thanks thats very helpful. Just tried to do the iID on Gov one. Got the wheel of death: Once you’ve submitted your information in the app, it can take a few minutes to finish checking your details. Do not close or refresh this page. Been like if for 15 mins now! Not very promising.

    Importing mini-pc units from China

    There are two issues you have to consider here: 1. Who are you dealing with? Are they an agent or a factory - either can work but its really important you know for sure, and if an agent you need to take extra steps to make sure they will continue to supply the same model from the same factory...

    Company Directors Required to Hand Over Digital ID to Companies House

    Thanks for your reply - This is exatly my problem. As you say they seem to want everyone to have a different email - that's fine but as I see it there is only an opportunity to put one email address in for each company - how does that work if you have 2 or more directors - there is no...

    Unexpected Terminal Handling Charges (THC) UK from China

    As Mike Foulds has corectly said it seems likely this is an LCL load and there is a massive scam operated by many Chinese sellers unfoirtunately where they offer very tempting low freight rates only to load all the costs onto the co agent handling clearance and unloading UK end.

    Import + Duty..

    Corriers such as UPS are notoriously difficult to deal with regarding customs charges and usually just lump it all into one fee to charge you which is really unhelpful. It can take a lot of work and pestering to issue you with a breakdown of the Duty the VAT and their charges that you have paid...

    Economies of Scale for International Shipping?

    There is usually some savings to be had for increasing the size of a consignment - espcially when the size increases sufficiently to bring a new mode of shipping into the frame (such as courrier vs air cargo or air cargo vs sea freight etc).

    UK client wants a fixed quote for a custom made product from china..

    What is important to understand here is that the best rates will likely have a very short time frame of validity. It really depends on what time frame your customer wants the rate fixed over. The longer the time the higher the premium they will have to pay. The person taking the risk will...

    Getting a designer for a new product made in china

    What an extraordinary thread! With so much invective and dare I say vitriol. All the original post asked for was the name of a decent designer who was familiar working with Chinese factories (I assume based in the UK although the post doesnt say this) and an idea of cost to make a 3D design...
