We Found the Widgets!

 Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here.

This Brexit thingy wottsit that Old Two Legs has been working on has taken a new turn. Yesterday he was looking for a HS Tariff Number that has six numbers but looking at different products that look close to the items he wants to ship, we come up with eight numbers!

No one has replied to his email but we didn't expect they would!

So, what to do? We know, Phone a Friend!

So, chatting with one of our customers who also exports our product told us what HS Tariff Number he uses.

OK, input that into the search engine and we get zapped to an American site which sort of describes our product providing you sort of squint with one eye and allow for the strange Americanism’s!

Off we go, back to the GOV.com and input that into the search engine and we get shoved to a page that has a very similar description that with one eye half closed and a little leeway given on the description, we think we have found it!

Back to the instructions again.

We have the Customs Declaration Form CN23, HS Tariff Number and a copy of the invoice, that should be all.

Almost.

This afternoon OTL has to go to the carrier to send of some stuff, to the UK, and while he was handing over the box of bits, he asked them if he needed anything else to get the stuff shipped after January the First?

Nah! Sez the man, 'you don't need any of that, just give me the stuff and I'll deliver it'

OTL is now wondering if he should risk it!

In the end he will get all the paperwork in a pile and the box of Widgets, hand them over and promise to sue the backside off the carrier if they mess it up!

I'm glad I'm a woofer, all I worry about is when do I get a walk, where is my food and who has a warm lap for me to cuddle up to and there's no HS Number for that!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
