A big thank you to those who voted for Brexit

Brexit was the spawn of the devil but no one with half a brain could stop it, it grew legs and turncoats like Johnson who was all for the EU before he became PM Cameron for instigated something that didn’t need instigating really do have blood on their hands
It’s the most depressing thing to happen to this country

unsurprising that agrifood exporters face significant new red tape, checks & delays...Govt chose not to prioritise this frictionless trade, or even having less friction than NZ, so it could gain regulatory freedom from EU rules eg re genetic editing food

"We're stuffed" - Brixham fish merchant Ian Perkes says he's unable to export his fish to France now the new post-Brexit rules and regulation have come into force.

So the chaos has begun. Organising even the simplest load to Europe has become an almost impossible task due to the mountain of Tory red tape that was brought in on the 1st of January.

to be honest Dinahmo, the problem you have highlighted is just a bit of a pain- and really very minor compared to the real severe issues Brexit is throwing up. Honestly!

On Friday, Marks & Spencer became the latest company to warn of the administrative burden and increase in export costs to some countries.

Parcels firm DPD has already suspended some services and there have been warnings from seafood exporters.

One export trade body told the BBC there was a "growing problem and sense of unease" among its members.

Shane Brennan, chief executive of the Cold Chain Federation, which represents chilled transport and storage companies, said the emerging problems have come despite the amount of cross border traffic still being quite low.

"Trade flows are still only about 50% of what we would expect, but even at those levels we are seeing levels of confusion and delays," he told the BBC's Today programme. "The feeling is we are building to quite a significant potential disruption."

Moderna will be delayed being imported to the U.K. because of Brexit.

Well the leave voters leaders LeaveEU have upped sticks and moved to the EU.????

There are some goods from EU and other countries coming through but eventually VAT and other charges will have to be paid on all personal imports and exports. Some parcel shippers are now stopping cross border movement until the new rules are established. Shipping from outside the EU was difficult and expensive before Brexit, now everything is harder.

Goods from UK retailers will have some problems, because VAT transactions are now with the country of origin, not through the EU reclaim system.

but................You are not taking into account that three hundred million pounds every week that is going to the NHS now!!!!!

No that’s needed to pay for brexit. Brexit is a bottomless pit.

Welshwife Thank you. I have in the past had things sent to friends and then forwarded on. I used to get Adaptil for one of my dogs and it's twice the price here. Luckily, or sadly, I no longer need the Adaptil.

Small businesses all over will find it more difficult and more costly which is a great pity because they are supposed to be the backbone of the UK and other countries I think.

Some things you can get from European sites - Amazon has a German site which is available in a number of languages and Marks has a French site which is much more expensive even though it charges no delivery costs.
I see some Cornish fishermen are unable to export to their normal market which has been the EU. I could not exactly see why with that one. I have seen a number of small businesses deciding to no longer deal with U.K. customers because of the paperwork and goods/gifts sent to the EU from U.K. are now subject to duty and vat.
