Exporting from and Importing to Jersey
Jersey is a highly developed country with a strong economy. It is a strong center for international finance, which is no surprise that it is world-class regarding fintech. Jersey’s location is also favourable due to its close proximity to the United Kingdom and Europe, while remaining independent from both, allowing for unique trade access. Jersey’s young and skilled workforce further enhances its appeal for tech investment into the country, which is a crucial quality for growth and innovation within the technological sector.
Jersey primarily imports machinery and equipment, and mainly exports gold, where its top trading partners include the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, further adding to the advantage of Jersey’s close geographical location with these countries. However, importing into Jersey often requires tech goods to first go through the United Kingdom, before entering customs in Jersey, allowing for TecEx to assist as the Importer of Record.

Unique Pain Points for Jersey
Due to Jersey’s location between the United Kingdom and France, direct trade routes have become limited. This requires most tech goods to go through the United Kingdom before reaching the Channel Islands of Jersey. This, therefore, adds a logistical hurdle, can be more timely, and may increase the costs. TecEx experts have vast experience with getting tech into Jersey in the most efficient manner and can take on the role as the Importer of Record to get all goods successfully through customs.
Further, sending goods through the United Kingdom before entering Jersey requires additional documents to navigate, primarily due to Brexit. TecEx has, however, handled several post-Brexit shipments and has expert experience gathering the correct documentation to get goods through British customs.
