A historic shoe company in Britain is feeling financial pressure because of Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union. One hundred ninety-two-year-old Tricker’s makes costly shoes and boots that can sell for more than $600. The company has sold products to everyone from Prince Charles to shoe fans in Japan. But, the company director, Martin Mason, worries about the new price of doing business with the EU. Costs from companies that ship Tricker’s products to buyers in the EU are growing. These extra costs could reach more than $135,000 a year for the company. The trade deal reached in December of last year between Britain and the EU avoided costly tariffs. But Tricker’s is finding that paying the EU’s value-added tax (VAT) has become a lot more complex for direct sales to shoe buyers.
