About Brexit.Trade

Brexit refers to the United Kingdom’s (UK) decision to leave the European Union (EU). Brexit has changed the way goods are traded, and, the provision of services. Key areas that have been impacted include the areas of Customs Clearance and Export Compliance.

The Trade Gateways Network is operated by Local Merchant Services, (LMS) in co-operation with significant partners. LMS have been providing Digital Trade Services since 2017. Services are centrally provided to Trade Gateways in the Network in a partnership with IBM.

Brexit.Trade is part of the TRADE GATEWAYS Programme. International Trade provides many challenges. Because there are over 300 Digital Trade Gateways across the globe in the TRADE GATEWAYS network, including Trade Gateways for over 100 Major Ports Globally, the TRADE GATEWAYS Programme provides the ability to remove many of the challenges in a facilitated manner from one single point. This can prove of great value to users, and helps to facilitate Brexit.Trade


Benefits of Brexit.Trade

UK exports have fallen since Brexit - in part due to the form-filling that's now required for access to the European Single Market. Brexit.Trade facilitates capturing all necessary data about a container for the importing nation’s customs officials before it even leaves its country of origin.

Brexit has provided an administrative headache that has grown increasingly painful for UK exporters since Brexit. At Brexit.Trade, users can use End To End Logistics from relevant Digital Trade Gateways as detailed to help overcome problems posed by Brexit

Furthermore, each Trade Gateway in the Brexit.Trade Programme is a branded Trade signpost to Trade Products and Services relevant to the Geographic location of the trade gateway, and delivered in co-operation with major partners including TradeKey, who operate B2B Marketplaces globally, with over 10 million users. Each Trade Gateway features at least 1 B2B Marketplace relevant to its Geographic Location

Our Partners can also Help

Partners are very important to the TRADE GATEWAYS Programme. We have major logistics and B2B marketplace partners in the Programme who are active in the Geographical locations of our different Trade Gateways.

IBM are also a TRADE GATEWAYS Programme Partner. IBM are an industry Leader and can provide Digital Trade Services to users.

Additional to the help that can be provided through our partners, the features of the TRADE GATEWAYS Programme as detailed below can be of great help to users.

1. The significance of the TRADE GATEWAYS network:
Rather like the analogy of the ports or airports network. Each one has the infrastructure to get you from point A to point B. The wider the network, the more places you can get to.

2. The interoperability of the system with other platforms


Significance of Brexit.Trade

For many UK companies, the EU is still where the majority of their sales take place. Some companies grew and expanded thanks to access to the EU market. Successful UK businesses can have a relatively low percentage of domestic sales and for those companies maintaining and continuing to grow their EU sales is still important.

Post Brexit Trade can be an administrative nightmare. All in all, it is proving too much for many small operators. Brexit.Trade can help, both with finding buyers and sellers and facilitate transaction administration and processing.

We have over 2 million subscribers across our sites network. Users of Brexit.Trade can find buyers and Sellers through Tradekey B2B Marketplaces featured on relevant Digital Trade Gateways in the TRADE GATEWAYS Programme. These are Digital Trade Gateways for the UK, for EU countries, and for countries with which the UK has a Post Brexit Trade deal. Users can use End To End Logistics from relevant Digital Trade Gateways as detailed to help overcome problems posed by Brexit

TRADE GATEWAYS Logistics Partners provide and manage supply chain solutions for thousands of companies every day – from the small family run business through to large global corporations. Their focus is on transparency, productivity and scalability.

Their reach is global, yet their presence is local and close to customers. They have 75,000 employees in more than 80 countries who work passionately to deliver great customer experiences and high-quality services. They help keep supply chains flowing. They take steps to reduce the environmental footprint from operations. Their workflows are highly digitalised and their IT systems are integrated with both customers and suppliers.

Customs Compliance: They understand the importance of properly handled customs formalities and compliance with all laws and regulations governing the importation and exportation of goods. Customs clearance is a complex and ever changing landscape of rules, regulations, and paperwork. Their comprehensive local and global customs compliance program ensures that customs documentation is accurate and compliant.

In most countries with Digital Trade Gateways, they are licensed customs brokers. And in other countries they have relevant customs clearance arrangements in place. Regardless of the precise local setup, the highly experienced staff of our Logistics Providers can help TRADE GATEWAYS users handle all their customs needs - from completing a customs declaration form, to a customs invoice and other customs documents.

Our Logistics Providers have expertise in local conditions, regulatory requirements, tariff updates, and more. With this knowledge, they can process custom clearances with accuracy and efficiency.

Trade Compliance: Post Brexit Cross Border Trade is a complex world of rules, tariffs, duties, and taxes. Our Logistics Partners can be of great help.

Trade compliance is the umbrella term for adherence to the regulations in place between any two countries when importing or exporting goods.

This can include duties, taxes, risk determination, classification, and more. Not paying the correct amount of duties can result in large fines from the government and delays at ports of entry. It is important to determine the current specific duty rates from all possible government agencies, and our Logistics Partners do just that, as well as provide the services detailed below.

Additional Tariffs – Once products are properly classified, our Logistics Partners will determine whether they are subject to additional tariffs.

Free Trade Agreements - FTAs can change or be halted, resulting in unexpected changes. Our Logistics Partners alert TRADE GATEWAYS users to any unnecessary duties they may be paying.

Partner Government Agencies - Our Logistics Partners are able to determine if products are subject to any PGAs.

Intellectual Property Rights Confirmation - Our Logistics Partners will ensure goods comply with IPR guidelines.
