Peter will introduce a new “market-leading” Direct Duty Paid (DDP) service, Smart Border Connect, designed to simplify and streamline trade between the UK and the European Union.
Peter will talk for around 10 minutes then answer questions at the end. This webinar is suitable for all BHETA members.
Why should you attend?
Brexit has introduced numerous challenges for British exporters, but DACHSER’s innovative solution:
- removes many of EU barriers
- reduces export costs
- provides frictionless access to DACHSER’s ‘market-leading’ European groupage network.

With daily departures from every part of the UK to all EU destinations, we offer the fastest connectivity in the market, ensuring you can meet the needs of your European customers efficiently”.
