In answer to your question. You will find a lot of competion  in benidorm. I know at least 3 companies. Spanish registed but English owners. Fully insured and legal. I think you may struggle to make this work... Especially if your not running it as a legal business .. The customs at Dover will expect a full list of goods, receipts etc..

Hi Julie,

I have a place in Los Montesinos, just over an hour from Benidorm.

It is a holiday home, but we try and get over once a month.

This would be a great service for us.

I had some stuff bought over last year and it cost me £200 and it was 3 days late!

keep us informed.

Pat.

At €100 per cu/m there is a business reselling that space. That’s a very cheap rate for a UK/ES/UK transit.

Everything will get much simpler!

1. VAT Implications

In a No Deal scenario, consumers and businesses will no longer need to pay VAT on the shipping cost for any of their goods sent to the EU.

  • Customs charges may still be applicable. These could include local VAT charges. 
  • As the sender, you will be responsible for the payment of any customs and Local VAT charges. This is the same process as shipping parcels to Non-EU destinations today. 

2. Customs Clearance and Commercial Invoices

As a current member of the EU, the UK benefits from access to the Customs Union, which allows goods to be shipped freely, without any lengthy inspections from local customs authorities.

  • If you are sending goods to the EU, you will be required to complete a 'Customs Details' form before finalising your booking. The information provided in the form will be used to generate your Commercial Invoice.
  • Once booked, you will need to attach your Commercial Invoice to your order, along with your labels.

3. Trade Tariff Codes, HS and Commodity Codes

Tariff Codes, such as the Harmonised System (HS) Codes, are used in international trade to identify goods.

Deal or Extension

If the UK extends Article 50 - or - agrees a deal with the EU before October 31st, nothing will change.

In this scenario, you can ship parcels to the EU in the exact same way you do today.

  • In the event of a deal being reached at a later date, the rules governing parcel delivery between the UK and the EU may change based on the nature of the agreement.
