NEWS Pecan Deluxe are Demolishing Brexit Barriers into Europe


Pecan Deluxe say they have risen to the export challenges in a post-Brexit society and persisted in their efforts to make the buying process as smooth as possible for all involved. The company worked hard to be able


to offer DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) as a buying option because it’s the easiest route for customers who just want to take delivery of products without any involvement with customs, Duty/ VAT etc.


means: smoother logistics, customs clearance & inspections and reduced


supply chain costs which all assist with keeping prices down. Pecan Deluxe also made the decision


The ability to sell with DDP


to reformulate a large proportion of its best-selling products traditionally made with animal derived ingredients like eggs and dairy so that they can offer customers an equivalent plant- based version which does not require an Export Health Certificate (EHC) and vet inspection and the associated paperwork and cost that this entails. Brownie, cake, cookie & cookie dough pieces are now all available without


the ‘composite food’ classification that can bring additional hassle for European customers purchasing from UK suppliers – and they taste just as good!


In a further drive to reduce lead times


and improve customer service Pecan Deluxe has invested in a new bakery area which will be fully operational by the start of 2023. The new bakery unit effectively doubles the companies’ production capacity & customers will reap the benefits of reduced production times as a result.
