You are right with the "custom problems" after the brexit.
I ordered the storm cover before the Brexit.
Two weeks ago I got some parts I bought from Eb*y. The custom and taxes have been paid to/ about Eb*y.
I had to pay tax/ custom fees again to DHL - it was a mistake by customs or DHL - but it's impossible to clarify
Since Brexit the parts from my UK suppliers raised about 24%.
To order parts from outside the EC became very expensive and sometimes you have to have staying power:
Last month the German custom "processed" an imported motorbike part for over 4 weeks.
Perhaps this is the reason why sone comanies do not deliver parts to the EC anymore - and do not longer answer enquiries
However, I have come to know John Taylor as a friendly and helpful business partner. There are sometimes tecnical problems etc.
Some weeks ago I had a chat by mail with John about some question about his storm cover.
And +1 for the Morgan-Park service!
No customs problems at this end. Item dispatched Vienna, Austria 15:53 local time yesterday, arrived today 16:31 local time.
