Implementation of post-Brexit customs rules triggers dispute among heavyweight carriers via IrishTimesBiz
Mr McRedmond had a letter published in British newspaper the Financial Times on Monday, in which he blamed the issue for contributing towards a 52 per cent decline in postal trade between Ireland and Britain. The letter sparked fury within the UK Post Office, which contacted An Post in Dublin to complain. The UK Post Office, a state-owned entity, insists the codes are the responsibility of the separate, privately owned Royal Mail, which runs the delivery of items left into post offices.
“If a package is dropped off at a local British post office from, say, a Norfolk jam company for postal delivery to an Irish customer, that post office should have the system set up to give the code,” Mr McRedmond told The Irish Times. Mr McRedmond said An Post met the UK Post Office last year and asked it to implement the system, but it still hasn’t happened. He said he understands there may be a dispute between the UK Post Office and the Royal Mail about how the implementation of Customs 2020 should be financed.
