    Looking for some advice on distributing a tool to help UK exporters

    Cheers! This helps a lot, I've been reaching out through the DfIT and Chambers of Commerce in various areas to see if that'd help, although there's perhaps a separate issue of trust transfer in that direction too 😄 I also realise I've been speaking in rather cryptic terms about what I'm...

    Looking for some advice on distributing a tool to help UK exporters

    I'll try my best to answer these, although I'll also be honest and say some of them I'm still figuring out/debating myself, and evolve based on the more conversations I have with exporters! The tool does do that, but also generates a compliance checklist of documents needed (based on the...

    Looking for some advice on distributing a tool to help UK exporters

    Both totally fair challenges! - I've been wrestling with the same thoughts myself. On liability: The responsibility definitely sits with the exporter/agent, and there's plenty of disclaimers throughout the tool informing users of that (it's also in the terms of use). I've built it with links...

    Looking for some advice on distributing a tool to help UK exporters

    Hi all! I've been building a free tech platform to help UK SMEs with export compliance - automated commodity/HS code classification, document checklists, up-to-date regulatory warnings, that sort of thing. The aim is to make the lives of exporters in the UK simpler and easier, to focus less on...

    Where do I go for compliance check?

    +1 on what @Customs Geek said on the tariff schedule. One thing worth adding is that the HS code classification question cuts both ways. As an importer you're right to double-check the code your supplier provided, since as noted above you as the UK importer bear legal responsibility for the...

    Delivering goods into Europe

    I believe the documentation requirements also change significantly depending on who is declared as Importer of Record (someone correct me if I'm wrong?). If the UK exporter takes on that role (via an EU EORI or indirect representative as mentioned), they'll also need to ensure their commercial...
