Petition Action

End the use of customs "Handling fees" by couriers delivering from the EU

Petition Details

The Government needs to regulate the handling fees charged by "brokerages" by capping them at a certain value for the parcel as currently the fees are extortionate.

Additional Information

Currently handling fees that are pushed upon UK residents by courier companies are utterly extortionate making it impossible for small businesses who rely on a non-UK supply chain to make a profit from the goods they are selling to consumers in the UK.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do, whether you'd like handling fees to be banned or reduced.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
