Pain Points

Trade Pain Points and Possibilities

Import regulations into The Channel Islands can be tricky and tends to change, making it difficult for businesses to stay compliant. That’s where an IOR can come in handy, smoothing the path through customs for your gear.

Unlike the UK and EU, the Channel Islands have their own customs and excise setup which can create complex procedures and regulations for businesses importing and exporting tech goods.

The Channel Islands face limited airfreight capacity, leading to potential delays and increased costs. TecEx’s logistics coordinators have cultivated robust partnerships with freight carriers, expediting the entry of your goods into this destination.

As Crown dependencies of the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands have chosen to participate in several UK Free Trade Agreements, including the one with EFTA members. While this helps diminish trade barriers and enhances market access for the islands, having a locally registered entity as the IOR is still imperative to navigate customs clearance for your goods.
