BHETA is to hold an introductory webinar entitled ‘Smart Border Connect – our market leading DDP Solution’ with service provider, Dachser.
The webinar is on Wednesday 18 September 2024 at 10.30am and the speaker is Dachser’s Peter Vickers, business development manager – DIY solutions.
Smart Border Connect is billed as the ‘market-leading’ Direct Duty Paid (DDP) service, simplifying and streamlining trade between the UK and the European Union and the webinar is suitable for DIY, garden, homewares and SDA suppliers. Peter will talk for around ten minutes, then answer questions.
The agenda is as follows:
Brexit has introduced numerous challenges for British exporters, but this innovative solution:
- Removes many EU barriers
- Reduces export costs
- Provides frictionless access to DACHSER’s ‘market-leading’ European groupage network
Steve Turner, export director for Spear & Jackson and new chair of the BHETA Export Committee, has used the new service and said: “At Spear & Jackson we have been extremely impressed with this service. The simplicity of navigating their Smart Border Connect system has made critical on time deliveries into the EU worry free.”
Peter Vickers explained: “Smart Border Connect eliminates the need for EU VAT on importation, enabling trade with the EU as though Brexit never happened. With daily departures from every part of the UK to all EU destinations, we offer the fastest connectivity in the market, ensuring you can meet the needs of your European customers efficiently.”
