During covid times the United Kingdom and the European Union came together to form a trade and cooperation agreement. In the new year 2021, this agreement came into force, according to this the United Kingdom is no longer a partner in the European union’s single markets and new rules were implemented. These rules were on the imports and exports of goods, yes the way you receive and send goods abroad has changed to some extent.
Changes In Rules
During exports or sending goods to the European Union, you need to attach the custom declaration along with the goods. Some smaller things have been exempted from this new law such as letters, postcards, and documents. The recipients of the goods have to pay customs and VAT and handling fees, these charges vary from country to country. The same is the case with receiving goods from other nations, the custom added to the goods depends upon the receiving and exporting country, and also on the type of goods. The term Brexit is the combination of two terms Britain and exit which symbolizes the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. Now since the VAT is being applied the total cost of sending and receiving goods in total have increased. Now, this increase does not have a major effect on large-scale businesses and for the commoners, as large-scale businesses have a larger profit scale and in the case of commoners, the cost is way too less and is bearable.
The problem has arisen for small-scale businesses whose profit base is not very large but operates on an international level. As we all know the United Kingdom is a collection of countries of varying sizes, so exporting to nearby countries is common and necessary for survival, and the addition of these customs has further burdened the small-scale business owners. Now the major question that arises is how can one reduce the packaging weight, recently the method of using custom mailing bags was invented which was a huge success but is it still viable?
Printed Mailing Bags
Let’s just not talk about the small-scale owners the total cost of goods needs to be reduced, it will be beneficial for everyone. The only possible way at present seems to reduce the product weight but without compromising the protection of goods. Since the only weight that can vary while importing and exporting is the packaging weight. Talking about packaging weight one cannot use cheap packaging or packaging of middling quality as it will further reduce your customers. One can use custom mailing bags as they can be printed in a variety of designs and provide safety to your products, ensuring an appealing look to your customers.
The use of printing mailing bags has shown a subsequent decrease in the overall weighing of the products and ensures proper safety, cherry on the top is the aesthetic looks that have seemed to appeal to the consumers a lot.
