Before leaving the EU, goods in the UK would be able to move freely between it and member states, with no import taxes imposed. This is now no longer the case.
If you have a .eu domain name your ownership of it may be affected by Brexit, scheduled for October 31st, you may want to make sure you take the action needed to protect your online business.
O’Brien Media has, for some time, been preparing plans to ensure that we are able to support our customers through the post-Brexit period no matter what the outcome might be.
Following advice from the European Commission, EURid (European Registry for Internet Domains) has decided that anyone without an EU postal address will no longer be able to own a .eu domain name once the UK leaves the EU. EURid will therefore be terminating all .eu domain names registered to UK addresses.
