UK Trade Alert: Is Your Ecommerce Ready for Customs Changes?

A major shift is coming to UK trade, and your business needs to prepare now. In this critical update, Livingston's International Trade Director, Gavin Everson, explains the potential removal of the de minimis simplification for imports and what it means for your ecommerce operations.
