So we sent over some presents to Germany, cost of presents £40 and they had to pay €10 vat plus €6 handling charge. Welcome to brexit.

It's a clusterfuck. And yet some people still insist that Brexit is a great idea.
Brexit: 'I was asked to pay an extra £82 for my £200 coat'
Shoppers buying items from Europe now have to pay customs or VAT charges on those above a certain value.

i really dont understand the value limit on when this kicks in - is there a precise one? seems random so far
£39. It's the same as buying from non-eu countries.
Edit to say: Alcohol, tobacco and perfume of any value are subject to duty too.

And the gov.uk page that should explain the VAT, customs, and excise charges is out of date: Tax and customs for goods sent from abroad. The replacement page they send you to only deals with VAT and is for businesses selling goods, not people buying goods or receiving gifts from abroad.It's a clusterfuck. And yet some people still insist that Brexit is a great idea.

Apparently not a problem for the EU and Germany in particular in wanting a trade deal with China

Well some good news here
Brexit has given competitive edge on car battery tariffs, says Nissan chief
Battery tariffs (or the lack of them) mean more production of some Nissans in Sunderland.

Project fear. Scaremongering saying it's going to be a disaster.
Here we are.
The welsh (is that a dragon or a turkey?) voted for leave, Hollyhead the only really big employer in the area is now deserted, Irish lorries are going direct, less risk and paperwork.
On the plus side, drugs should get a lot cheaper as they are just waving in the lorries to the UK at the moment. Looks like we are going to need them.

Aren't Barbours made in Newcastle?
Really nice coats. We shall all dress like gentry

It's hard as so much isn't fully made in one country anymore, my current walking coat is a Aigle shooting jacket, Aigle is French but the jacket was made in Bagladesh. It is coming up for 7 years old and needs replacing, I have seen a nice Alan Paine replacement, Alan Paine are English, founded in Godalming no less, but of course their shit is made in the East too. Also looking for a new bike, narrowed it down to a Commencal (Andorra), Propain (Germany) or Whyte (England). However all of these the majority of the components, including the frames are made in the East (Taiwan mostly for frames). Seems the only way to buy British now is to buy a Nissan...

Only some of the waxed jackets are made in the North East (plus some hats and scarves made in Scotland), everything else is made abroad, including a number of waxed jackets.
