75% of the big organizations and only 47% of the smaller businesses are ready for Brexit. Here is our advice to the industry
When it comes to tariffs, have in place the right resources, maybe an import agent, consultant or experienced internal resource that can help your company navigate through the tariffs issue. There are cases when your tariffs can be reduced to zero. It is worth to have the right resource.
As you may expect, customs borders, airport and ports are inundated with customs declarations. Have the right resource in-house (whenever possible) to avoid unnecessary delays.
In UK only half a per cent is certified compared with Germany which has ten times more. This certification shows to customs that you are consistently compliant with their procedures. It can take up to six months to be certified, but it will help to speed up your goods through the borders. Also worth to consider.
While the Brexit logistics and customs implications get settled, finding temporary storage options could be the perfect solution to avoid excessive fixed costs. LogistCompare is helping many clients to facilitate the process by giving you instant warehouses options for you to contact directly.

There is a lot of media coverage around a No-Deal Brexit. The UK is scheduled to leave the EU in 2019. If a formal withdrawal treaty has not been signed by this point, all EU rules and regulations will instantly cease to apply to the UK. But what does this mean to businesses across the UK? Does the recent spate of closures, in particular, the motor industry and headquarter moves does it spell the end for growth in the UK. Interestingly figures suggest that the UK will grow more over the next five years than many of its current European partners.
