OVERSEAS PURCHASERS

We will do our utmost to assist with the new post Brexit export regulations.  We are aware that the new requirement for customs declarations when purchasing goods from our UK sales and exporting to the EU is complex.  All export buyers must contact us prior to purchasing to clarify what extra information you will require.  We will provide our EORI number on all export invoices and can arrange customs declarations at cost.  We are working with Customs Clearance Agents who will assist us with relevant declarations to enable equipment to leave England.  The purchaser is responsible for all transportation from there onwards.

Should ensure that the country of destination has no import or currency restrictions on the goods you wish to purchase.  Our normal terms of business otherwise apply and payment is due in full on the day of sale.  Please note that all new overseas customers will be required to pay a VAT deposit.
