Balance Bikes for Kids | Kidvelo Bikes

Early Learning Ltd sell balance bikes that can be adapted as a child grows in size and confidence while learning to ride a bike. The balance bikes are available in 3 sizes and convert to pedal bikes so they’re a very economical choice for parents and good for the environment.

The bikes, spares, pedal kits and helmets are imported and sold to UK customers direct from the Kid Velo website. Due to the growing number of enquiries from the EU, Kid Velo wanted to ensure that exports would be as easy as possible for customers and asked The International Trade Consultancy to write a Customs Compliance Report to establish the most cost-effective and straightforward process for supplying the bikes to the EU. Following Brexit and the implementation of the Windsor Framework there were also some questions about sales to Northern Ireland.

Following a meeting with the MD at the Kid Velo warehouse to thoroughly understand the product and accessories supply chain, The International Trade Consultancy provided a detailed report advising on;

• Import and export HS codes
• Obligations with regards to the new GPSR legislation
• Document compliance
• Protection of intellectual property
• Recommendations for reputable ‘Responsible Person’ companies
• Sales to Northern Ireland including UKIMS
• Sales to the Channel Islands
• VAT
• Incoterms
