The logistics and eCommerce sectors are preparing for significant changes as new EU customs requirements come into effect on 1 July. Against this backdrop, UKP Worldwide Director Guy Cliffe recently joined Nicky Jones on the Let’s Be Honest (About Logistics) podcast to discuss the implications for retailers, carriers and the wider cross-border supply chain.
The episode examines the practical impact of the forthcoming EU customs reforms, including the introduction of new fees and reporting requirements that many businesses are still working to fully understand. During the discussion, Guy highlights why focusing solely on parcel delivery costs may no longer be enough and why customs compliance, data quality and returns management are becoming increasingly important factors in cross-border success.
The conversation also explores opportunities that many retailers may be overlooking, particularly around duty drawback and duty reclaim, as well as the wider lessons businesses can take from recent global trade developments and market disruption.
With regulatory change continuing to reshape international commerce, the podcast offers valuable insight into the challenges and opportunities facing businesses selling across borders.
The trailer episode is now available, with the full discussion scheduled for release on Friday.
At UKP Worldwide, we remain committed to helping retailers, marketplaces and logistics providers understand the evolving customs landscape and prepare for the changes shaping the future of international eCommerce.
