Webinar with Tamebay: Delivery in a Post-Brexit World

What the Webinar Covers

This is a practical, no-jargon session focused on the real steps retailers need to take to protect their delivery performance in a post-Brexit environment. Drawing on GFS’s position as the UK’s leading Managed Multi-Carrier parcel management provider, the discussion covers both immediate actions and longer-term strategic considerations.

Key topics include:

What Brexit Means for UK–EU Delivery and Returns

The introduction of customs procedures, import VAT requirements and new carrier compliance rules changed the economics and complexity of EU delivery overnight. This section sets out what has actually changed and what it means in practice for retailers shipping to European consumers.

Preparing to Trade Under WTO Rules

For businesses that may have delayed their post-Brexit planning, this section covers what preparation under World Trade Organisation trading rules looks like and where the greatest risks lie.

EORI Numbers, Product Classification and HS Codes

Getting the paperwork right is non-negotiable for post-Brexit cross-border shipping. The webinar covers EORI registration, the importance of accurate product classification and how to apply Harmonised System (HS) codes correctly to avoid delays and additional charges at customs.

Carrier and eCommerce Platform Readiness

Not all carriers were equally prepared for Brexit, and not all eCommerce platforms had the data fields and workflows needed to support the new requirements. This section covers what to look for and how to assess your current setup.

Reducing Delivery Disruption and Protecting the Customer Experience

Customs delays, failed deliveries and unexpected charges are all risks in a post-Brexit environment. This section focuses on pro-active steps retailers can take to minimise disruption and maintain the delivery experience their EU customers expect.

Turning Brexit Preparation Into an Opportunity

Brexit created barriers — but it also created an opportunity for retailers who got their cross-border strategy right to gain ground on competitors who did not. The webinar closes with a discussion of how solid international delivery infrastructure can become a genuine competitive advantage.
