"Incredibly, with 18 days to go, there is still no clear idea of trading conditions in a post-Brexit world. Parliament will decide this week whether to accept or reject Theresa May's deal with the EU, and if the deal is rejected Parliament will then decide whether to have a no-deal Brexit, whether to extend the negotiating period, or potentially whether there should be a second referendum. A no-deal option basically throws trade with other countries into chaos with regards import and export taxes, and back in January – because Fighting 15s has to plan that far ahead – a short closure period for Fighting 15s looked like the only option. Back then, closing from 15 March to 15 April looked as if it would avoid most of the immediate tax issues and allow orders to customers in EU countries to be dealt with in time. The period from 15 March to 28 March was envisaged as a period where Fighting 15s would clear international orders first, then deal with domestic orders…." Main page link Amicalement Armand

Thanks, Tango! It is difficult from far away to see what is going on and figure out how it will impact one very small part of the British economy and how it will effect our fellow gamers in the UK. Grelber Waiting (impatiently, as always) for my last pre-Brexit shipment from Nottingham |

Here are the proposed tariffs for imports to UK in the event of no-deal PDF link Looks like zero for toys, games and models. |

Ye gods! 1,478 pages of tariff information – and only the draft, and published on 13 March. Not really much good for anyone into forward planning. |

Maybe next time work out the details first then vote? |

Last I heard they were working for an exit extension, so…….. Wonder how long they can play that one out? Seems like the obvious "solution" for those advocating against exit and change. |

The process is beginning to remind me of the retreat from Kabul in 1842. I wonder if this is going to become one of those Glorious Disasters that the British are always so proud of? Are any other non-UK members thinking of placing last-minute orders to their favorite UK companies in case things get too weird? |

Mserafin, My last minute order was placed a week and a half ago, and came today. More stuff I'd love to buy, but it will just have to wait. Grelber |
