I'm looking at alternative trade routes.

Our motherboards and 6 other parts/components fall under the Trump 301 tariff scheme.

We pay tariff in NL.

Are we going to pay tariff as part of landed costs when the boat from NL to UK docks in England? Another when it arrives in Ireland from Cardiff?

Trade route was changed on Thursday last week.

Our customers ' points of presence in the EU can't take the potential pricing.

We didn't understand the plan so signed a contract to cut the UK out of the equation. Mini distribution center closes tomorrow in London.
