Hi Patrick, You raise some points which have been the topic of discussions across many offices for the past 3 years however, you are incorrect on one thing. "Double Taxation". In post Brexit, importers that wish to sell in Europe have two choices. 1) The one you mention; China -> UK -> Europe. The importer does not have to customs clear on arrival to UK, and pay Duty/VAT (Tax) here, they can choose to customs bond the cargo outbound again, to its final destination. This cargo can travel in a bonded status and once it's arrived to France, or Germany, or wherever the destination is disclosed as on the T1 Bond document, the customs process of clearance will finally begin, and THAT is where the taxation shall take place. 2) The UK importer could import directly to an EU hub, (China -> Hamburg) register their business in Europe and purchase from China using this company. They can fund the business via the UK sister company using financial transactions which does not attract taxes/duties. The EU company pays china for the goods, and imports them direct as above.

not really because of the EU law. You need an office, staff and files in the EU location. This will cost money every month. A digital company like an OÜ or a fake company will not be able to solve these matters
