https://lnkd.in/e6aYKZ6g Import checks on EU food and animal products. In response to the headlines today, the Government issued the following update via the Defra Press Office regarding the upcoming border checks: There has been reporting this morning (19 April) claiming that health and safety checks for EU imports won’t be “turned on” as planned from April 30, 2024. This is not the case; as has been previously outlined, we will be commencing checks on April 30. Please see the link for the detailed response: https://lnkd.in/e2JB_EzA UK border controls on EU food imports have already been delayed five times because of worries that they could cause havoc and drive up prices. According to the Financial Times, the UK government reportedly told port health officials that it will not "turn on" health and safety inspections for EU imports as new border controls resulting from Brexit take effect on April 30th. #icsglobalservices #brexit #import #importing #foodimports #eufoodimports #business #eu #ukports #importers #food #uk #business

https://lnkd.in/eaWcQkwZ Exporting goods from the UK. Your business model may change if you export goods outside of the UK. Exporting can be a fantastic way to expand your clientele and boost revenue. There are advantages and disadvantages you should consider prior to entering new foreign markets. One benefit of exporting is that it can help you diversify your markets and become less reliant on any one of them. Other benefits include better margins and greater economies of scale because of increased output. You can modify current items to fit new markets, which could make your research and development budget work harder. However, International trading does come with additional risks and challenges. While these risks cannot be completely eliminated, they can be managed and reduced. Our UK export guide outlines the steps necessary to succeed in new overseas markets. #icsglobalservices #export #exporting #exports #exporter #exportsales #importexport #ukexport #shipping #logistics #supplychain #wholesale #business #exportbusiness

https://lnkd.in/eVBGCXDY Exporting Products to the USA The USA, being the world’s largest economy, offers enormous potential for UK exporters. There are negligible language obstacles, low regulatory restrictions, and access to the global supply chain when exporting products to the USA. The U.S. export market has a great demand for UK goods and services due to their strong reputation for quality. With the correct product or service, exporters can take advantage of a wide range of opportunities within this vast marketplace. But the United States is not a single national market; rather, it is a federal system. This implies that every state should be handled as a distinct entity with its own policies and legal requirements. #icsglobalservices #export #exporters #exporting #import #importers #importing #supplychain #supplychainmanagement

https://lnkd.in/dAAXHKUt International Payment Methods for Imports and Exports In international trade, importers and exporters come together to discuss and decide on the conditions under which goods will be sold. Both buyers and sellers must concur on all product specifications, costs, Incoterms® 2020, shipping, and delivery procedures, and agree on the terms and payment methods for international transactions. #icsglobalservices #imports #exports #exporters #importers #exporting #importing #internationaltrade #globalbusiness #payments #supplychainmanagement

https://lnkd.in/dAYmUP6p Understanding Marine Cargo Insurance. Marine cargo insurance covers losses arising from physical damage to the goods or the loss of goods while they are in transit by any method of shipment by sea, air, or land. Marine insurance can also cover the cargo during transfer to a transit warehouse and while the cargo is stored in the warehouse. Therefore, the word ‘marine’ is a very misleading term, as it implies the insurance is only for goods shipped by sea freight. This is not the case. #icsglobalservices #import #export #importing #exporting #insurance #globaltrade #internationaltrade #freightforwarding #cargoshipping #shipping
