The Challenge
Navigating Brexit and UK Customs Borders post exiting the EU Going back to December 2020 right before Brexit, Pietro di Paoli owner of Carola Trading wanted an immediate Brexit proof solution for his shipments crossing the border on January 1st, 2021. He decided to give the KlearNow solution a go knowing it was to go live on that same day.
Carola Trading signed over the business to KlearNow from December and never looked back. Three years and weekly groupage clearances later, they remain our first and one of our best customers to date in the UK. We have since worked on integrating an Ipaff filling solution, a required food certification for the UK, and are now jointly working together to expand sourcing from Spain.
