E-retailers selling into European countries experienced the initial effects of the United Kingdom’s decision one year ago to leave the European Union. But as Brexit plays out, things get complicated for U.S. e-retailers and many of the Top 500 that sell to British consumers. The protracted timeframe of the UK’s exit from the EU opens the door to obstacles such as new regulations around privacy and data management, tariffs and any number of tit-for-tat maneuvers by various countries as they work through the transition from what was a single trading market. Our speaker will highlight the latest changes affecting e-commerce and the flow of goods in and out of Britain, along with the short- and long-term opportunities for selling into the European market.
