    hmm. This ours was filed pre-Brexit and it's 01210XXXX, i.e all numbers (9 of them) and the website doesn't seem to accept it?

    Trademark

    Hi, We have a trademark on our name. It's due to be renewed in 1 month. Is there a way we can easily renew in-house or cheaply here in the UK? I vaguely remember reading that the GOV website has a do-it-yourself option, but is it really feasible?

    Did anyone solve this??

    I meant that I am happy to deal with the import and pay the admin + duties on their behalf. They don't want anything to do with this. They don't want to hear it's stuck in customs, that they need to pay something (even if I reimburse them). Like you said, it's the lack of desire to deal with...

    I would happily pay admin fees and even the customs fees, problem I can only do that via DDP and then I have to pay their local taxes too which makes it unachievable. If there was a way for us to pay duties and admin on the importers behalf that would solve some of the issues. Sigh

    Another solution is to have an EU vat entity maybe

    We considered that but it's too small for that and we don't know what stock they will order. Splitting the stock will create absolute chaos at our size. Tell me again this is not a Brexit problem LOL

    In theory, you are right. In reality, that's not the case. Also, there are admin fees, time lost in customs, back and forth from them to the customs authorities, etc. They are not used to it, and don't want the hassle.

    I was hoping to hear from someone here who can relate, and has solved this. Hence the title of this thread.

    You are right, it's not exactly 20%. In your case it's 23%. From the customers perspective, you are charging them more, or similar if they were to pay their local taxes but now they can't offer those £200. It's just a cost. Much less appealing

    It will be cheaper to spend £5k, form an EU entity and use it as the importer and reclaim the various tax charges I think than to "swallow" 20% in taxes from a 50-100k sales/year

    So, are you saying I should offer them DDP and add 20% on the price? And they would hopefully agree because they won't pay tax on their end? They might but it's not a good solution for them as they can't offset that payment against their vat earnings either. Not charging them 20% when shipping...

    Before Brexit I didn't charge vat..it did go as EC sales but that would offset against my vat expenses and balance out. Now it doesn't balance out because sending DDP is just an expense, that taxes paid so not balance out with my vat expenses.

    We send boxes. Between 5-15 boxes per delivery. Value of 1500-10000eur. Sending DDP doesn't make any financial sense. Why would we pay their local taxes? We can't claim that back and we lose 20% margin. And no, we can't increase the price by 20% as then we'll price ourselves out of the market.
