Sourcing European equipment made easier with Ryebeck!
COVID-19 and Brexit have brought much uncertainty to the world. Companies must now consider different ways of doing business, as well as all the new regulations now in place. This includes drinks producers needing equipment, such as spirit stills and brewing vessels.
Brexit effect
On 31st December 2020, the transition period for the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the EU ended. This means that the UK is now formally a ‘third country’, according to the European Commission Taxation and Customs Union. So, EU law no longer applies here. In particular, new customs procedures and formalities now apply to trade between the UK and the EU. Special rules are in place for Northern Ireland.
If you’re a UK distillery or brewery needing equipment from EU countries, this can be a daunting proposition. Legal and logistical factors, along with all the detailed paperwork can be quite complex. For example, if you want to buy from a German manufacturer, you are going to have to import the equipment and deal with all the costly, time-consuming paperwork plus the VAT rules and procedures.
