I suspect this will get resolved much like the VAT changes over time, luckily a lot of the UK based miniatures companies went through that so once they know processes and what to do they should hopefully be able to get it resolved. The key difference being a named contact within the EU. Its not dissimilar to a lot of what already happens so I suspect it will only time time to implement, its pretty much the same as when you buy that bottle of beer from Poland for example… it says imported by A Company, at A address in the UK.

As others have said its clearly aimed for example at the likes of Aliexpress, Temu, Amazon, Ebay sellers who will sell just about anything direct with little concern about quality or saftey of the goods. In principle its a good think but it is going to impact many businesses until clear guidance and action is available to them.

Its worth nothing that its not just UK companies affected, those in the US and the rest of the world will also be impacted. The only real Brexit related element (outside of it would apply if brexit hadnt happened) is that the situation for Northern Ireland under this is a complete mess as they are both in and out the EU so selling to NI is also troublesome for UK sellers.
