The UK has left the EU – How will this affect Cylinder purchases?

So, it’s happened, the UK left the EU on 31st January 2020.

This is a concerning time for many as the new rules and regulations regarding trade are still to be confirmed in the transition period which will end 31st of December 2020.

We have several customers calling to ask if there would be new tariffs or charges applied if they purchase cylinders from us now. Please rest assured that as yet nothing has changed, all deliveries can take place as before without any taxes.

We haven’t had any information on what the new regulation framework regarding trade between Northern Ireland, ROI and GB will look like yet, but as we get this information, we will do everything in our power to minimise disruption to our deliveries to GB and ROI.

Unfortunately, it is likely at some point changes will be agreed. Even when agreed these changes will not take effect until after 31st December. Ramko will communicate all changes to customers before this date, ensuring there are no nasty surprises come the New Year.

So, as of now nothing has changed. We are still able to trade freely across these islands and hopefully this situation will not change too much.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding future trading regulations please do not hesitate to contact us and we will answer to the best of our ability.
