Member exclusive event
The rules around de minimis and shipping were a long-staple of many e-commerce businesses. However, following a series of changes by the UK, EU and US governments, parcels that used to move across borders without paying customs duties may suddenly incur additional costs.
As part of our Lunchtime Learning programme, experts from the Chartered Institute explain how the rules are changing, the differences between the US, EU and UK’s changes, and what it means for your business.
When: 12:00 – 13:00 GMT, Thursday 26th February 2026
Where: Microsoft Teams
Delegates are invited to send questions in advance to editor@export.org.uk.
