they don't have to check on the day. HMRC can do a CIT compliance check anytime they want. You have to prove that you are innocent. CIT: customs and international trade. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/compliance-checks-customs-and-international-trade-ccfs1g

that business model will be corrected from 1/1/2021 - ebay will take 20% of the sale to remit to HMRC. We should see prices going up. The last time I sent a kit to Norway, DPD Europe charged me £25 in forwarding agent fees. ParcelForce would have charged less but can't take batteries. The...

the problem that existed before (not charging VAT) was allowed to fester because our government kept the VAT registration threshold too high (£85,000 per annum). This is now corrected indirectly by making the platforms (ebay/amazon) responsible for collecting VAT...

you could say the same about BJ. Back in March, Prof Neil Ferguson's team at UCL presented the model of Covid spreading and pointed out the consequences for the NHS. His graphs are well known. BJ delayed the lockdown about 10 days, killing probably thousands. Then when the new variant got...

The tyres are comparatively much more rigid than normal tyres and as it's fit and forget, I usually advise customers to get the bike shop to supply and fit. 700C tyres are more sensitive to inner rim width, best to stick to same dimensions 42-622.

we fit Marathon Plus Smart Reflex 28" x 1.75" to the Camino for those who need puncture proof tyres. You can get them from Halfords. Which tyres did you buy?

you get usually club discount for bulk purchases don't you? On one of the projects, I can't remember which one, the participation fees double after 5 years. The only snag though, as the EU operates on 7 year accounting cycle, any participation will lock you in for 7 years. I think we get so used...

the truth for BJ is a flexible concept and time dependent.

This change is long overdue. If I sell something from my website, I am responsible for collection of taxes, so why not ebay, amazon etc? They ship £ billions every year, think of the 20% tax income for the Treasury.

I am always for paying some fee to trade. It's cheaper than not trading.

the deal on fish may be not as BJ suggested, 'Britain can catch all the fish it wants in 5 years time'. the EU will negotiate again to keep the present system.

it's OK if you import a container except for the delay but imagine selling kit parts from your website. Paypal/Amazon/Ebay will make your life hell if customers raise a dispute. Border Force or customs officials can also require that you show proof of payment - just to be sure that the amount on...

I have no idea why the cables are hanging out of the box and frayed. The cables should look like this:

You pay 5% import duty on motors and batteries, then the VAT using this formula (goods + freight + insurance) * (1 + duty) * 20% In the UK, it's called form C88. Just google it. Royal Mail and DHL charge £11 to fill in your C88 but they need the correct documentations otherwise, they can't...

the sender has to provide to the courier commercial invoice, HS (harmonised system) code and indicate country of origin. At the recipient end, the courier needs these documents to clear the goods through customs. If you are caught lying, the consequence can be severe. I assemble bikes in...

one issue that is a direct consequence of the UK leaving the single market is warranty replacement. Goods sent back for repair or replacement to an EU country must be accompanied by various declarations and proof that duty and VAT have been paid. If you don't have the appropriate paperwork, your...

the EU/UK deal affect only products originating from the UK and EU only. PSW Power sell Chinese parts, they are not covered by the deal.

only on Chinese e-bikes because EU anti-dumping on Chinese e-bikes may be cancelled soon. E-bikes produced in Europe won't come down in price, if anything, may even go up a little because of the extra burden on import procedures. The unknown quantity is Chinese e-bikes assembled in the Czech...

none of the wires should be frayed or exposed outside the controller box. You may need a replacement controller. Please email some pictures to support@wooshbikes.co.uk - Andy will get it sorted for you.

All couriers have suspended their delivery service into the EU. The only way to take your e-bike to the EU at the moment is in your car.
