Buying parts from the UK before January

mengele

I normally order machinery parts from a place in the UK. Thinking of ordering a haul again now on Monday. My problem is that the man is very slow to issue can invoice. He sends out the parts to me in next day delivery no problem and I pay about a month later once he sends the invoice.

Do I need to have this bill payed before January 1st or just have the invoice dated for 2020?

Cast your mind back to last year when many people bought UK cars and then there was a back log so to get the cars registered they had to pay the nox tax, live and learn.

i think it could be the date that the goods enter the country IMO it is very tight now, I have got a bit of stuff lately from the uk and most is through. I would be slow to order anything now without been ready to get caught for duty on it.

If you had an idea of the value of the parts and paid 80 % on receipt, it would lower the amount owed at year end and thereby any excess that might fall due. Could that work?

Same as that. I had something ordered from Wales since November. Emailed about it during the week and their supplier had let them down :rolleyes: I cancelled the order as God knows what delays or duty it could meet between now and Jan, wasn't worth the risk. Will see what the new year sales bring.

just something to keep in mind for some parts amazon.de and even more so ebay.de have a lot of parts and no problem shipping to Ireland just change language to english and germany has a lot bigger population than the uk. i think we just need to change our mindset to we are now closer aligned to Europe than the UK

I don't think it's worth it unless it's something you are definitely going to need. There's still a few Lanz bulldog parts around here from when my Grandfather stocked up before WWII. Parcel Motel have a cut off date of 28th December. I think you've left it too late TBH.

It the date it comes into Ireland. If it enters the country on or before the 31/12 then it the same as for the last 30years. If it enters on or after 1/1 it will need a customs declaration. If there is no free trade deal there may be tariffs on it. If there is a free trade deal then no tariffs just the hassle of customs declaration and clearance

If the parts are physically in the UK I'd go ahead and order them now. The delays are at the other end of the country due to UK businesses stockpiling.

As what base reeves said but will add that it is the "date of export" so that gives an extra day for goods to be shipped as C status community goods. Once exported on or before the 31st of December and say they don't arrive in till the 2nd of January they are still classed as community goods. But they may be stuck on a trailer with goods with a date of export after the 31st of December it waits for the transit to be released. ( which is a 25 minute automated process once the carrier has their customs clearance system in place )

The pre brexit UK origin goods will be then able to be taken off as normal and delivered while the post brexit UK origin goods will be either cleared off a low value or high value manifest.

I bought a john Deere gator in october in the uk n only got it delivered last week. The hauliers are mental at the minute as companies stock up as much as they can. I was starting sweating thinking I may get the ferry!
I might have my figures wrong but I think stuff will be 30% dearer bringing it in in January. There'll be no value to be had if that's the case.

Is there a back door through Northern Ireland to avoid this?
