This week, as Brexit took effect, a company in Cork that sells sports posters to Europe and around the world ceased all direct online sales to the UK. There s no point having the hassle, said Wayne Mullins, a graphic designer who runs Kobe Designs. I ll just not send to the UK. I ll keep selling to the [United] States and the rest of the world.
The UK market accounts for 50% of Mullins s sales. It s a significant part of the business, but it s just not worth taking the risk for now, he said.
Within days of a zero tariff, zero quota free trade post-Brexit agreement being struck, it appears that unforeseen, unheralded or just poorly understood frictions have come to the surface, hitting companies like Kobe Designs.
